Introduction: The Battle for “Value Houses for Sale in DHA Phase 5 and 7”
If Phase 8 is about “Status” and Phase 6 is about “Convenience,” then Phase 5 and Phase 7 are strictly about Value.
Here is the secret that savvy investors know:
- DHA Phase 5 offers the widest streets, the most mature greenery, and a level of security that is unmatched. It’s “Old Money” elegance.
- DHA Phase 7, on the other hand, is the rising star. It is the only place where you can get a Brand New luxury house for significantly less than Phase 6 or 8.
As we step into January 2026, prices are shifting. Smart buyers are picking up renovated gems in Phase 5 and modern builds in Phase 7.
This week, I filtered through the market to find the Top 5 Properties that offer the best “Bang for your Buck.”
👉 Read our full [Buying Guide 2026] to understand the basics.
1. The “Old Money” Charm: 500 Sq Yds Renovated in Phase 5
Classic Luxury
Location: Phase 5 (Near Imam Bargah)
You cannot replicate the vibe of Phase 5. The trees are fully grown, the streets are wide, and the community is established.
- The Structure: Built 15 years ago (when structures were stronger), but fully renovated in 2025. It feels brand new inside.
- The Layout: Unlike modern “Open Plan” designs, this house features a classic layout with a proper drawing room and separate dining—perfect for families who value privacy.
- Bonus: It has a massive mature garden which you rarely get in new phases.
Faisal’s Verdict: “If you want peace, security, and a house that feels like a ‘home’ rather than a hotel, this Phase 5 unit is the winner. Plus, the price is very competitive.”

2. The Modern Bargain: 500 Sq Yds Brand New in Phase 7
(High Growth Potential)
Location: Phase 7 (Extension)
Why pay 20 Crores in Phase 8 when you can get the same specs here for less? Phase 7 is booming in 2026, and this house is proof.
- Design: A cutting-edge modern elevation with louvers and glass. It looks identical to a Phase 8 villa.
- The Specs: Spanish tiled flooring, Ash wood doors, and a fully imported kitchen. The builder hasn’t cut any corners.
- Future Value: Phase 7 prices are rising fast. Buying this today is an instant equity gain.
Faisal’s Verdict: “For young couples or investors, this is the smartest buy in the market. You get a brand new lifestyle without the Phase 8 price tag.”

3. The Massive Mansion: 1000 Sq Yds in Phase 5
(The King of Value)
Location: Phase 5

- Grandeur: A huge 80-foot front elevation. You can park 6 cars inside.
- Potential: It’s a livable house that needs minor cosmetic updates. With a small budget, you can turn this into a palace.

Sometimes the best house is the one you build yourself.

Conclusion: Class vs. Growth?
So, what will it be?
- Choose Phase 5 if you want the established, green, and secure “Old DHA” vibe.

Both offer better value for money than any other phase right now.
Still confused? I have the keys to all these properties. Let’s spend a Saturday viewing them. I’ll show you the difference between a “Renovated Phase 5” and a “New Phase 7” personally.

Q1: Why is Phase 7 cheaper than Phase 6 and 8?
Answer: Phase 7 is farther from the city center (Clifton/Saddar) compared to Phase 6. However, with the new interchange and development of DHA City beyond it, the gap is closing. Currently, it is “undervalued,” making it a perfect entry point for investors.
Q2: Is it better to buy an old house in Phase 5 or a new one in Phase 7?
Answer: It depends on your lifestyle. If you prioritize “Neighborhood Class,” wide boulevards, and established greenery, an old Phase 5 house is better. If you prioritize “Modern Interiors,” smart home features, and zero maintenance, a new Phase 7 house is the winner.
Q3: Are there water issues in Phase 7?
Answer: Phase 7 had water issues in the past, but in 2025-26, the infrastructure has improved significantly. Most new houses also come with large storage tanks. We always check the water supply status of a street before recommending a house.
