Foreword
Property in Dubai has seen unprecedented growth, as the emirate experienced price rises on steroids. Every week, buying a place became more expensive, with the result that developers became heavily reliant on investors rather than end user buyers, many of whom were being priced out. And then came the reality check. In late October the market suddenly turned. Sales largely dried up, banks became stricter about lending and confidence slid. Prices have now begun to reverse and the great unknown factor now is whether it will be a big slide or a small correction.
The Buying Property in Dubai, Autumn 2009' report sets out to cut through some of the red tape, offer advice and highlight what to consider before making a buying decision in this difficult market.
