There has never been a better time to buy property in Dubai. Rates have been falling drastically since 2008, and investors are jumping on the Arabic state with it’s huge potential for property income.
Dubai real estate prices fell by 6 percent in the third quarter of 2010, and the UAE’s largest construction firm, Arabtec Holding PJSC, reported a staggering 96 percent drop in profit. Other companies such as Deyaar Development also reported huge losses. Furthermore, many predict that Dubai’s recovery is some way off.
Saudi property billionaire Prince Alwaleed – who has many interests in the region – predicts several years of decreasing property prices before Dubai hits rock bottom and begins a recovery.
Rental prices have been particularly badly hit in Dubai Marina, Jemeriah Lake Towers and The View, whilst landlords with huge numbers of properties have started undercutting market prices, causing further rate falls – by up to 38% in some cases.
Dubai has put itself on the real estate map in recent years, building record-breaking monoliths, palm-shaped islands and man-made archipelagos. It’s attractive no-tax model and highly modern infrastructure has drawn international companies to the emirate. Huge quantities of cash were borrowed to finance Dubai’s more ambitious projects. But with the onset of the global economic crash in 2008, property prices plummeted and foreign investment dried up.
It may be time for Dubai to start thinking the unthinkable in order to pay off their debts: income tax or corporate tax might be the only way out for this great centre of trade and tourism. Reforming the UAE’s residency laws is one idea being floated, since the current set-up encourages transient expatriate white-collar workers who have no personal investment in Dubai, only a view to get in, make a tonne of cash, and move on. Residency rights do not often extend beyond 3 years under the current law.
It’s all good news for buy-to-let property investors, though – or at least those who can afford to bide their time. The slump will level out in time, and the market will undoubtedly do what markets do and improve itself.

The property prices are rising at daily basis in Dubai. The real estate and property dealing service are going to the decline due to the rising prices of property. It is really financial issue for the Dubai economy, the increasing prices of Dubai. It is almost impossible for a middle class person living inside or outside Dubai to buy any property and most of the people working in Dubai are middle class because they are hired from such under developed countries like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh etc. they can not afford to live in Dubai now and are shifting back to their countries or other sides.
Dubai has developed its infrastructure on such outsource people from small countries but now they are leaving Dubai due to rising property prices and their effects on the living. And this is not a good thing for Dubai and its progress.
But if you have money, and you want to buy a property in Dubai, it is a good opportunity for you to buy a house or property in Dubai because in spite of all the facts disturbing the mediocre, Dubai is still a blessing for rich people who can invest and earn lots of profits in the business of property dealing. This is one of the reasons that investment in properties of Dubai is still going on and people are buying and selling their property to earn profits. But the market consistency in Dubai is not acceptable via this condition because increase in prices has affected much to people living in Dubai. The rents of shops, malls and plazas are increasing as well and they are rising the prices of every day products and almost everything has grown up due to the rising prices of properties through out in Dubai. And due to the high prices it is affecting purchasing power of ordinary people who are now going back to their homelands or other countries to live and settle a good life there. People concerning the property issues must think about the increasing and rising prices of property. They should think about the purchasing powers on individual basis and try to make some policies to solve the rising prices issue of real estate in Dubai. But if this issue is not taken seriously, Dubai can face a real problem which can directly affect the economy of the city and people living in it.

The rising prices of everything have affected Dubai and its financial situation. The ever rising prices of properties and Dubai real estate are on the top of financial crisis which Dubai is facing. It becomes really difficult for people to afford there house on rents and buying property. Dubai was considered as the safe haven for about previous forty years but now the world crisis in which inflation has contributed a lot due to rise in patrol and petroleum goods prices has affected the Dubai’s economy. Everything from day to day usual products to luxuries prices has increased at about more than two percent ratio. We can not neglect the fact that this modern city is built by the loans taken from Swiss banks and the interest rates are increasing with every passing year. So it is really hard to say that Dubai can survive if it does not make a good plan to stabilize its economy.
The true problem that is hitting straightly the financial issues of Dubai is the property and real estate business. Dubai is one of the most expensive cities to live in and the labor class of Dubai is usually from the third world countries like India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and their purchasing power is not like others and it is impossible for them to buy a property or place to live in Dubai. They can hardly afford the basic Necessities due to increase in prices of the world so they can not buy a home in Dubai.
Dubai is oil producing market and the oil reservoirs are slowly diminishing and it can be a situation very near when Dubai has to buy oil from other countries and this can really be hurdle for the economy of the Dubai. And in case it happens than Dubai will remain no more a perfect place to live and enjoy life because everything from head to toe will really go on high price.
Dubai really needs now to make new policies and static’s to balance its financial crisis. Government of Dubai needs to hire good economist to make its economy stable. Otherwise within five years the Dubai economy can go in really worst condition. So proper planning to deal with financial crisis in Dubai is very important issue so that it can face other Economical crisis for long time without disturbing the every day life but if it does not it is totally destruction for Dubai.

Motivated by regional oil exporting is how Dubai made it to what it is today, the United Arab Emirates boasts one of the world’s fastest-growing economics worldwide and a lot of people are looking to invest here. The first world countries refer to Dubai as the “Dream”, the world’s new version of the spent American dream. Dubai’s free trade zone, and magnified commercial real estate market, and financial services make it the best powerhouse that is available to all. This growth was fueled by oil revenues, but now has a momentum of its own and the best thing about Dubai is that for the past 20years it has just been developing and has not looked back since then.
Everything about Dubai speaks good news! There really seems to be an all-positive country change that has enveloped the world!
Dubai’s real estate sector does not challenge developers as the land’s uniqueness speaks for itself and enables developers to make wonders of their own. The sector has all the ingredients that will keep it sustainable and growing, says Schön Properties Vice-President Asher Schön Husain. There are many real estate markets around the world that facing a financial crisis, Dubai property market stands like a brightest star in the middle of the sky for many investors, end users and developers, with demand in the market still higher than supply. The recent Cityscape Dubai 2008 saw the presence of diverse kinds of visitors and investors who wanted to buy property in Dubai, which is really amazement to many but yet it is the truth and facts can be proven from this. Nevertheless the question that seeks attention is whether the financial crisis has affected Dubai and if so how?
Amazingly through UAE/Dubai is the least affected country by the financial crisis, the country hold it integrity tight and keeps blossoming through many ways that the financial crisis has barely affected them.
The market is growing rapidly and its believed by many that we are still undervalued. We believe there is still much capital appreciation to take place in the market in Dubai, as it has never let anyone down thus far. The bases of the market are way too strong for any amendments to take place. The whole demand-supply factor keeps the market flourishing. I believe there is a lot of supply to meet demands that have been growing and growing. We believe that more than one million people will relocate to Dubai over the next five years as the reasons are obvious in that there are so much more to look forward in Dubai. Although there was the financial crisis Dubai was the country that was least affected, people are still investing and it’s wise of them to invest in this country that keeps blooming
The global financial crisis has not affected the Dubai property market at all. Borrowing, by percentage, is much less compared to the global market. The majority of investors who purchase property here use in-house financing facility, which is interest free and available from the developer itself s this gets them to save their cost. There has also not been a high level of borrowing from financial institutions as its really not all that necessary because the properties are really affordable although comparing with all the facilities available. Thus the financial crisis barely had an effect on Dubai especially with its flexible ways but yet intelligent ways of handling things.
We have not seen any impact on major financial institutions. But whether there will be any regulations or changes with regard to interest rates will only be apparent after next month.
In the event you are figuring out why a month, if you look at the property market, it goes through a cyclical period. For example, last year capital appreciation increased 90 per cent, which means property value went up by 90 per cent. I believe over the next three over month there will be a phenomenal growth.
The financial crisis thus does not really have an effect on the Dubai market!
