Dubai’s property market is recovering all the way to Dh100 billion and more
By end August,
sales zoom past Dh88 billion as buyers pile into ready and off-plan homes
Dubai: Recovery for Dubai’s property
market cannot get any better – total sales are closing in on the Dh100 billion
mark for 2021. By end August itself, the numbers have rocketed past Dh88
billion – and that’s well ahead of even the most optimistic forecasts put out
at the start of the year.
This year, end-users and first-time
buyers are leading the turnaround for the property market. Mortgage-backed
deals too are on the increase, as residents with longer term plans to be in the
country switch from renting to actually buying a home.
But the biggest plus – from a
developer standapoint, at least - from the August transaction numbers put out
by Property Finder is that offplan sales too are making a strong recovery. If
this moment lasts for another six months at least, worries about unsold
apartments clogging up the city’s property market will prove largely unfounded.
Now, the talk is that by November,
developers will start getting back with full-scale launches in Dubai after
giving it a miss for the whole of 2020. In fact, the forecasts were that a
recovery will be seen only by 2023-24.
Blockbuster months
In fact, sales during June and in
August were the highest monthly sales in a decade. The number of Dh1 billion
daily deals registered at Dubai Land Department, too, is rising. The belief
among end-users is that if they delay any longer, property values will start
increasing and they would have missed out on a good opportunity.
