Dubai real estate market putting up with recent setbacks

Dubai would have been able to get away with these setbacks, if there was just one or two at a time, but they arrived in such succession, that Dubai real estate market was left in the lurch by the severity of these setbacks. Some of these debacles could have been avoided, while others were almost unavoidable. Let's look at some of these disasters holding up the growth of Dubai real estate market for the time being.

Financial crisis effecting global economies:Financial crisis hit Dubai in many ways. There was so much construction work going on in Dubai, majority of these development have to be stopped because of serious shortages of finance. So many expatriates who were directly involved as the labors or working in another capacity at these construction projects were discharged from their duties, as a result they were forced to leave as per the Emirate laws. The exit of these workers resulted in further lessening in demand, which was already dwindling. Some other reasons for low demand include the completion of numerous residential and commercial units improving the supply side, abnormally high prices, and investors taking more and more interest in the neighboring emirates like Ajman or Abu Dhabi real estate. Plus, as it happens in recession, people are spending less on leisure activities like shopping or touring the high-profile places like Dubai. Low Oil Prices:Although, Dubai do not depend too much on its oil exports but the region surely does, especially its neighbor Abu Dhabi with considerably large reserves of oil. Dubai always anticipated a bailout in case of financial crisis. Now, Abu Dhabi whose economic stability largely depends on crude oil export (the prices of which are going down), is a little reluctant to support Dubai with a large enough financial aid. That is one of the main reasons why Dubai is left high and dry.

Amplification of the crisis by reporters:Dubai has always been fortunate (and now unfortunate) enough to inspire reporters and journalists to put in a little bit of exaggeration when reporting about Dubai. The whole growth scene was covered like there's nothing stopping Dubai, and now the debacles are projected as the tragic end to Dubai's fairytale. It's funny to see how quickly the number of cranes at Dubai's skyline has been replaced in the news coming from Dubai, by the number of abandoned cars at airport parking.

Still there’s a silver lining in the cloud for serious investors and that is after experiencing abnormal highs and lows, Dubai will eventually become a rather normal real estate market, once the speculations are decelerated and the prices settle on a more realistic levels, it'd be much safer for the serious investors.

What to do as a Real Estate investor in present Dubai economic conditions

Once the apple of real estate investor’s eye, Dubai has now become a thorn in the flesh for many of them. Especially for those who jumped the gun by ignoring all instructions and precautionary measures repeatedly thrown at them by Dubai regulatory authorities, as well as many real estate veterans, as they made some investment blunders whilst they were enchanted by the remarkable growth of real estate sector. Putting in Dubai real estate was certainly not a bad investment decision, but being incautious was. Even though the stupendous growth made Dubai look like an out-of-this-world place, in reality it wasn't, which means the rules of economics were as applicable to Dubai market as they are to any other market in the world.

So what’s there for investors, now when the Dubai dream is over …?
Before we continue to answer this question, let’s respond to this one. Is the Dubai dream really over? To tell the truth, all negatives reports and stories coming from the Dubai circles are having a little bit of hyperbole, there’s no denying that Dubai real estate market is dealing with some serious setbacks, but such problems were always expected. Dubai was never going to escape the consequences of global recession, especially when it mostly depends on tourism and finances coming from the west in form of real estate investments, as it is not oil-rich like its neighboring Emirates (e.g. Abu Dhabi).

Investors, who invested in off-plan properties without checking the credibility of the developer or real estate brokers with RERA, are probably the most grief-stricken group, as more and more developers are running out of finance to carry on with construction work, at the same time they are unable or reluctant to pay back. These investors are left with no choice but to file a suit with Dubai real estate court.

For those, who are worried because of sharp decline in prices, the best option is to hang around. Chances are that we will see recuperation as soon as we recover from financial crunch. It's only a matter of people getting out of their saving mode and touring Dubai (after all tourists attractions like burj-ul-arab or shopping malls have not vanished, they are pretty much there). Dubai is also looking towards a bail-out from Abu Dhabi, while Dubai government is also working to keep the damage caused by recent crisis in check, even if it requires the implementation of the new villainous media law.

Dubai real estate becoming home to celebrities



By: William King

Not that Dubai needs some celebrity endorsement to gain popularity; the "city of gold" is a star in itself. When a celebrity purchases some villa, island, or just put his/her name to some building, it's hard to determine who's being promoted? Dubai? The star? or both of them? Dubai has got a celebrity status, that is why celebrities are more than happy to attach their names with the developments going on, some have done it by purchasing a piece of property, others by giving their names to some development, while some are trying their luck in designing hotels or golf courses. Although, the property has got to deliver what it is supposed to deliver (yields on investments, luxurious lifestyle or world class business facilities), still nobody minds paying a little more when they know they will be getting a villa in the neighborhood of David Beckham or Brad Pitt.

Big names from Sports world:


Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum presented a whole island (in "The World") to Michael Schumacher at his retirement, probably one of the most expensive publicly known gifts to an individual in recent times. Schumacher involvement doesn’t end there; we have got a whole Michael Schumacher Business Avenue at Business Bay as well. Similarly Boris Becker has a 19-storey building named after him. ACI Real Estate recently launched "Boris Becker tower" in the same district. Talking of tennis celebrities, everybody knows the famous friendly match played between Roger Federer and Andre Agassi at the helipad of Burj Al Arab hotel. Then we have "Tiger Woods Dubai", a golf resort designed by non other than Tiger Woods himself. David Beckham represents the football stars at Dubai, who owns a luxurious Villa at Palm Jumeirah (though for the time being, his in-laws are more likely to occupy it).

Showbiz Biggies:


Dubai government is trying to make Dubai the prime destination for tourists, and what better way to attract people all around the world than bunching up some of the most famous showbiz names in Dubai, one way or another. Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Hillary Swank, Kylie Minogue, Giorgio Armani, Carlos Santana, Shah Rukh; the names are big enough to pull crowds on their own. One of the hottest couple in Hollywood (at least among those, who are still together) Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have reportedly bought an island in "the world" Hillay Swank and Shah Rukh Khan are endorsing some property developments (While SRK owns an address in Palm Jumeriah as well). More than 2000 celebrities from all over the world flocked to Dubai for a grand opening ceremony of Hotel Atlantis, where Kylie Minogue and Michael Jackson performed.

With so many celebrities, VIPs and super starts showing up at Dubai, Dubai will soon become an ideal spot for investors, businessmen and tourists alike (oh and paparazzo’s as well).
