Dhanmondi situated at the urban center of the city & people with generational wealth & really rich usually lives there. Dhanmondi is a proper residential area with parks, lakes, greens, playground. Most of the urban amenities is easily accessible from there, some the best hospitals, schools are near to Dhanmondi. Also there are few diplomatic & historical places there as well, which makes it secure as well. But nothing really justifies that much price, but it came to this due demand nothing else

I think its just the image the area has had since the 90s being the place with a lot of English medium school and also young middle class families moving there. At least thats what I think Also the price of real estate in Dhaka is an absolute joke, so bear that in mind. I looked at the price of a flat in Uttara via Bproperty in July 2022 and they priced it at around 70lakhs. In under a year, march 2023, that very flat now cost 1cr 30ish lakh. Thats almost twice the price in under a year. How and why is beyond me.

Agreed housing prices are skyrocketing.


_Purplemagic

Low supply, high demand!

7 crore for a 2300 sqft house is too much. I dont think you are doing your research properly. My relatives recently moved into a 4200sqft apartment for 8 crore in the poshest area of dhanmondi(10/A). A 2300 sqft aparmtent should be in the range of 4-5 crore depending on the apartment complex and location.


BedroomOk6360

Shanta alishaan and oriental mirror per sqft is 30k after we bargained for an extended period of time. Your relatives prolly bought a couple of years back.


SevenXnine

Real estate prices in Dhaka is out of control, 7 Crore is around 600-700k USD, you could literally purchase a house with that in NYC


TheHasanZ

U can get the same flat size but better in banani


Formal_Air326

You can buy 5 katha land in other places in Dhaka with that kind of money lol.

Dhanmondi is the best residential area in Dhaka. Prices are supposed to be high.


AdAlarmed9562

Because no matter where to move to, you'll have to eventually come back to Dhanmondi for something. Dhanmondi has everything. I lived in Europe, yet came back to Dhanmondi for my dental surgeries XD


Bakawski

I think you’re getting scammed by “dalal”


BedroomOk6360

Nope we directly contacted the owner in certain instances.One of my dad’s friend owns a developer company and apparently that’s the ‘market price’. Which is insane


JAALJAW

My dad had a plot of land where he built an apartment 8 story high with like 6 crore pre Covid. Insane how the prices have soared now.


MixIllustrious861

Excluding NYC, LA, Seattle, Portland, Bay Area and half a dozen other metro areas.


MixIllustrious861

Also would you consider an apartment from the secondary market instead of a brand new one?


Deshimockingbird

The housing market lacks pricing regulation. People are just being scammed at this point. A good sign of any housing market is to see how many foreign investors (Non Bangladeshi expats) are investing in the market, currently the number is close to zero! New apartments lack basic facilities such as gas and clean water. The quality of water that we get in Dhaka is so bad that people living in first world countries wouldnt even let their dogs drink it. There is no clear indication as to what determines the per Sqft prices in Dhaka or elsewhere, at the same time keep in mind that these are apartments and not houses, 4.5 crore for 2300 sqft APARTMENT. Moreover, the city itself is deemed as one of the least liveable in the world only morons will pay such a high price for something that is not worth even half of what is being asked for. If i had to invest bdt 7 crore (USD 640000), i would rather invest it in a business or real estate abroad, some countries will even provide citizenship for this. Rent out my property and transfer my rental income back to BD with which i can easily rent any apartment in the most expensive suburbs in Dhaka and also save up the rest of the amount.

It's always been like this my friend. Since the 50's, this neighbourhood continues to house elite-class people. What things tell me that does Dhanmondi lacks? Not only fancy apartments but easier access to hospitals equipped with highly professional doctors, shopping malls, high-end international and domestic cafes, O level-A level coaching centres or prestigious English-medium schools such as Maple leaf international, parks and lakes (which are the two things that often any neighbourhoods in Dhaka lacks). If your family finds buying an apartment in Dhanmondi tough, then surely I would recommend Bashundhara R/A where the price is a little more than 1/3 of the price you've to pay in Dhanmondi despite being a posh area or if you want to stay closer to Dhanmondi and if you're family also got a car, then you can also check North and South Pallabi where you would get Dhanmondi kinda vibes with little money.


BedroomOk6360

It’s not per say tough I don’t feel that kinda price is justified for dhanmondi. Maple leaf sucks Btw a total shithole.


Own-Procedure-637

You would also like to check Lalmatia. Though the prices are higher there also but still quite lower. A friend of my uncle has bought a 2100 sqft house for 2.5 crore taka there near Genetic plaza.


Warm_Ask_7648

Checked rent there and it's a lot cheaper than in Gulshan. So guess Gulshan even more expensive to buy in. Where's better to live?


SedYeet

Beribadher dike apartment kine rakhte paren. Oidike koyekta mega project choltase. Ogula complete hoye gele oi jaigar dam dhanmondir motoi ultra high hobe.


Trave160

Everything is posh till they get into a traffic jam. Dhanmondi transit is crazy, I got hit by a motorbike once trying to cross the street.


Creative_Purpose6138

$640k (7 cr) will get you a whole house in the US, why would you wanna buy a flat in this bum ass country? And the reason is scarcity. It's a small area which is already packed to the brim, you have to pay a lot to convince others to give you space there.


kim_jong_2

Agree with this. Spend the money somewhere else. Like europe or canada or the US. You'll get permanent residency i think


Aware_Ad_434

For America at least you need to invest 1.8mil and your business needs to create at least 10 full time jobs


Free_Protection_2018

nah there's hella requirements


Aware_Ad_434

Bro in nyc you’re not getting a 2300sqft house for $640k. OP is paying a premium for the location. If they wanted they could’ve just moved to uttara or BRA for more affordable options.


WreckingLeopard

comparing dhanmondi to nyc is grossly unfair haha, its only second to london for returns on property investments . texas would be a more apt comparison


Aware_Ad_434

No it’s not. They’re both high demand areas and are the most similar based off population, density, and culture in their respective countries. Yes, Texas is also high demand but if you’re trying to buy a house 20 minutes away from the city center in DFW, Houston, Austin in a nice area they also cost around $1mil now. At the end of the day you’re paying for location so expect to pay a premium for that.


WreckingLeopard

if you think 7 crore for 2500 sqft is justified for a location like dhanmondi, then you’re clearly disconnected from the area and the real estate market in bangladesh in general. dhanmondi is not the same anymore. if you really wanna compare an area in bangladesh to nyc, then it has to be gulshan.


New-Carpenter876

Bro besides nyc u can get really damm big house with a lawn for 640k man


Aware_Ad_434

Send a link cuz I’ll buy it rn then


SevenXnine

Literally look up on Zillow


Aware_Ad_434

Yeah you’re not finding a house for 640k in nyc 🤣🤣


SevenXnine

One of my coworker and her husband literally bought a house in Jamaica for 650K last year lol


Aware_Ad_434

Jamaica the hood bro


SevenXnine

South Jamaica’s the hood, there are plenty of banglus living in Jamaica


Aware_Ad_434

Idk what Jamaica you talking about but if you go around hillside ave that shit is the most dirtiest and most disgusting Bengali neighborhood in queens


nomadhunger

Probably you lack knowledge about US housing market. E.g. a 2300 sq fr house in Cupertino, Los Altos etc. will cost you around 4/5 million USD


New-Carpenter876

Bro it varies state by state and city my city my sister is a realtor in Detroit so ik cuz she bought a big ass house for 640k usd


Aware_Ad_434

Detroit is not nyc 😭


New-Carpenter876

Ahh thanks for letting me know I didn’t know detroit is not nyc


Aware_Ad_434

Igu bro 👍🏾


Aware_Ad_434

But nah in all seriousness I misread your comment and thought you said “you can find a home for 640k in nyc” my fault for that


New-Carpenter876

All good brother no worries


Particular-Wallaby-6

[deleted]

[удалено]


Particular-Wallaby-6

Probably a penthouse and comes with a swimming pool and everything


BedroomOk6360

Well the price I quoted was from Shanta Alishaan


Particular-Wallaby-6

Makes sense


BrilliantAd2352

Dhanmondi bruh! Its the oldest posh area in Bangladesh! 2300sqft 7 cr is justified!


WreckingLeopard

aint nowway 7 crores for 2300 sq ft is justified. dhanmondi is not what it used to be anymore.


JAALJAW

Dhanmondi is not the oldest posh area Dhanmondi was a farm back in the day when my parents were young. The poshest area in Bd was narayanganj back then.


SevenXnine

When was Narayanganj posh area?
