The current has been a challenging period for Dubai Real
Estate as property transactions declined and property prices dropped, apartment prices have dropped around 12% at the end of the 3rd quarter. This drop in
property prices is expected to stay at least till the coming few months,
experts believe. The property start falling after the land lard imposed a
mortgage cap and increased the transfer fee, these efforts worked well to cool
down the market but at the same time some external factors like a drop in oil
price, property fluctuations and new inventory that is on the way to release. The
new inventory of property has been exaggerated and developers are now looking
to release new inventory of properties which is in line with the absorption
rate of the current market.
This is a good move to regulate the supply and demand fundamental and will also help to stabilize the property market in the longer run. On the other hand rental prices have not seen any major fall and seem to relatively stagnant or have fallen by a negligible percentage. This is welcomed news for buy to let investors as they can now pay less to buy property and get the same rental yields as in the peak time of the real estate market. Though sales and rental prices are driven by different factors one common factor is the supply and demand level.
Rental prices are mainly affected by this phenomenon while as sales prices are decided by a number of factors put together which include economic growth, supply demand, investor’s sentiment, interest rates and currency fluctuations.
