Dubai is in the midst of a seller's market

▪️   We are seeing undersupply issues leading to property price increases and listings at 8:1 with much competition from buyers at the moment.

▪️   Buyers are signing on the dotted line a lot quicker than they previously would have through fear of missing out on a property they like.

▪️   Seeing multiple buyers for one property as there is little supply and hence creating urgency. 

▪️   Encouraging sign for the Dubai property market and shows its maturity despite a global pandemic

▪️   A record-breaking revenue generation for January 2021 when compared to any other month in the company’s 13-year history.

▪️   The loan-to-value ratio and low-interest rates are a common denominator when it comes to buyers having the ability to step onto the property ladder. 

▪️   First-time buyers make up 74 % of the business at the moment 

1.  In 2019 a property could be worth Dh2.5 million with a down payment of 33 % at Dh800,000, but during the second half of 2020 and going into 2021. The same property could be purchased for Dh1.9 million with a down payment of 26 % at Dh400,000.
