Predictions for Dubai Real Estate Sector in 2010

2010-03-01T00:13:00.000-08:00

The latest predictions by a Dubai based real estate consultancy firm reveal that there is still some way to go before things pick up again in the beleaguered real estate sector. Owing to past commitments, there is at present an oversupply of residential units in the emirate, and the still sluggish economy means that the real estate sector will continue to struggle through 2010. Indeed, some experts have stated that they do not expect to see a turnaround before mid 2011.

The present realities of the real estate sector very much reveal that sale prices and rents for villas, apartments and offices will continue to fall. On the average, apartment prices in Dubai are expected to decrease by as much as 20% over the next 18 months. Meanwhile, it has been noted that villa prices in Dubai have also stagnated, showing a marginal increase of just 0.2% in the 4th quarter 2009.

Location is still a key factor, as there is a variance of pricing based on whether the villas are situated along coastal communities such as Sheikh Zayed Road, or further inland where the prices have decreased.

At the other end of the market, sale and leasing transactions for commercial property remained significantly low in Q4 2009 with average sale prices down by 5.1%, and office rents dropping 8.4%. This trend is expected to continue as an estimated 48 million square feet of office space will enter the market over a four-year period.

Possible good news for apartment renters is that average rents are likely to decline as more residential supply is delivered at a time of weak demand fundamentals.

The Government of Dubai has announced a 6 percent cut in state spending for 2010 in response to the strain on its debts in the aftermath of the real estate collapse. State spending is projected to be $9.64bn in 2010, compared to $10.3bn in 2009. Dubai Real Estate sector contributed as much as 50% to the emirate’s GDP in its heyday.

There is a dire need to rebuild confidence and greater transparency in the UAE's fast evolving real estate markets. Although the rate of decline may be comparatively less in 2010 than that experienced in 2009, what is needed for a recovery is stronger economic fundamentals, better long term policies and additional demand from both investors and tenants. Once these are in place, the markets will mature. Investors will also need to change their attitude and take a longer term view, as there will be few opportunities for price spikes as the level of returns becomes more stable and sustainable.

Will 2010 Herald a New Dawn for Dubai?

2010-01-09T23:00:00.000-08:00

The opening of the Burj Dubai, the world’s tallest tower, on 4th January 2010 is the best news we have got from Dubai this year. And with the spate of negative news items dominating the airwaves in recent months, such positive news was long awaited and indeed, much appreciated. At long last, here was an opportunity to revel in the ‘superlativeness’ of Dubai once again, a feat that the ruling family would have liked. Smiling for the world media as he did the honors of cutting the ribbon announcing the opening of the tower, Shaikh Mohammad bin Rashid Al Maktoum has long compared Dubai to a Hollywood star. The comparison is both apt and fitting, as the rise and fall of Dubai’s fortunes over the last two years or so very strongly imitates that of a Hollywood icon. Dubai has also been constantly in the news- whether for the right or the wrong reasons. Not very long ago, the debt repayment crisis of Dubai World got the world’s attention. But by first agreeing to support and then withdrawing, the Government of Dubai sent mixed and confusing signals to world watchers. The Western journalists took it to mean that Dubai was itself in danger of default. To their minds, the worst had already happened. Dubai had overextended itself in the property boom market and how the bubble had burst. What probably made the West a bit vitriolic in their comments was that many expatriates in Dubai had to bear the brunt of quick layoffs once the bubble burst, and thus left the emirate with bitter memories.

At present things do look to be getting a bit better, as by some estimates, 60 percent of the previously abandoned housing and construction projects have been resumed- some with new financing, others with new crews, administration and management. The resumption of work means that the employment sector will become alive again, and give impetus to hotels, air travel, taxis, rentals, shopping, banking and a host of other facilities. This time around, some are taking a cautious approach and either coming in on unlimited work contracts or preferring Abu Dhabi or some other emirate in which to work and live. That said it is simply not to be contested that Dubai is still attractive to the visitor, because of its cosmopolitan lifestyle, good infrastructure and acceptance of English as the spoken language.

Meanwhile, the stock market and the financial sector desperately need a boost for Dubai to recover from its present inertia. Maybe the Government will need to change housing, working and economic policies so that they are more obliging and business friendly, as well as protective of jobs and assets.

With the present situation being that supply still outstrips demand in this emirate, there is no shortage of advertisements in UAE property websites. Business is sluggish in Dubai property and will only pick up if the economy is stimulated. Dubai marina and villa properties are the only ones somewhat holding their value in terms of Dubai properties for sale, while Dubai apartments have almost halved in value. While the property and construction sector is definitely in oversupply in 2010, analysts are hoping that property for sale in Dubai will recover by the start or middle of 2011.

Abu Dhabi Property Report

2009-06-07T04:28:00.000-07:00

Why Invest in Real Estate?

2009-01-18T05:27:00.000-08:00

A successful property investor would have a hundred answers to this question, but in this article we’ll glean only some major pros of real estate investment in the world’s prominent property markets. We’ll also see how a wise timely decision can make you rest upon your laurels and enjoy handsome regular incomes while staying in the comfort of your home.

Many see the current global financial crisis and the ‘failing’ property markets in the negative light and avoid taking risk of investing in property at this point of time. It’s true that property buyers and investors globally have reservations about putting their money into property and their concerns are quite understandable. But when we compare real estate investment with other forms of investment, we find that even in the present critical situation, property remains is one of the most lucrative businesses. Property markets are falsely being dubbed as ‘failing’, only they are not performing as good as they did a few months back.

There are many reasons why investment in property is still one of the safest investments, but the primary one is the population growth. World’s major property markets such as, UAE, Turkey, Italy, and Brazil etc, remaining immune to the current financial slump, are faring remarkably well and continue to thrive, though at a slower pace than before. These property markets are either financial or tourism centers and population in there is constantly on a rapid surge. Expatriates and tourists in these property hubs constitute a substantial portion of the total populace and are a key cause of the rising demand for property. As all these real estate centers are extremely business-friendly with a few even offering a tax-free environment, those who want to set up their business and also those in search of better employment opportunities gravitate to these countries.

This foreign influx in the shape of businessmen, job searchers, and tourists plays a major part in keeping the property business thriving. Demand for all types of residential and commercial property can only be seen going higher unaffected by the fall that other industries are currently facing. Buying the property, either for self use, or to rent out or resell, is still a safe investment and can bring the owner high margins of profits in a short period of time. Though the slowdown in real estate sector is undeniable, the situation may be a blessing in disguise for the investors and general buyers. As the property prices have lowered, it’s high time for them to invest in property and enjoy the ownership of a property and the fruits it can bear in the near future.

Bars in Dubai

2008-10-29T23:27:00.001-07:00

It's almost impossible to advise bars in Dubai which will be good for everyone. Below you can find a list of places where I've been for the past time to make full joy of Dubai Nights.

Vu's Bar - situated at the 51st floor of the overpoweringly space age EJumeirah Emirates. The beautiful views over the sea from Vu's Bar - possibly Dubai's shorthand for views. Like in many alluring UAE hotels, the crowd is an up market mix of guests, who are dressed to impress. The soft-cushioned air-conditioned lavishness can make you feel like a superstar. If you try the 51st Floor house cocktail, you will find it so yummy. We even forgot to ask what it was. But if you can't find it, don't worry - there's a astonishing 200 cocktails to choose from! If you are looking for a night club in Dubai don't go there. It's definitely not that kind of party.

Boudoir - If you're not staying at the Dubai Marine Beach in some property in Dubai, catch a cab to this place and check out the Boudoir. It's bursting with nice furnishings, oil paintings and velvet plush, done in an magnificent French Renaissance style. Entrance with rose bowls, rich cocktail menu, Boudoir has certainly abandoned Dubai's obvious Eastern theme and gone for authenticity in its own.

360º Bar - The name of the place says for itself. This elegant, laid-back terrace bar swanks outstanding panoramic view of the ever changing Dubai property, ever evolving Dubai skyline and wonders of Dubai Night life. Placed in the centre of the Gulf, at the heart of the huge, wave-shaped Jumeirah Beach Hotel, this naturally cool spot is popular hangout with Dubai's cocktail set. Chic and sophisticated, bathed in desert sun, this is the perfect place to escape overwhelming Dubai buzz and relax in a beautiful atmosphere. Cool house tunes set the tone at the Bar, playing until the early morning. The visitors sink into comfy sofas and sip a drink (or two, and more) as they watch the sunset.
Alamo -located at the Dubai Marine Beach Resort and Spa is a Tex/Mex restaurant with emphasis on the bar drinks.

Dubai Cultural Village

2008-10-14T23:23:00.000-07:00

Recent years have seen the emirate of Dubai take a series of bold steps towards dictating a brave, new and successful future for itself. A future not shaped on the previous successes of its abundant natural resources, but on the new global industries of technology and tourism. At the heart of this new strategy lies the Dubai Culture Village, uniquely contrasting surrounding modern day Dubai with its focus on the ancient mysteries and cultures of the past.
Bearing in mind Dubai's focus on being at the leading edge of technology and commerce, it is therefore strangely ironic that many of the emirates most recent luxurious and prestigious developments have chosen to locate themselves within the more historical and cultural surroundings of the Dubai Culture Village.
Located along the shoreline of the Creek, the Dubai Culture Village is a rich blend of Middle Eastern history with the heritage of ancient Dubai. Throughout the Dubai Culture development, the unique architecture offers a unique mixture of ancient Arabic traditions with Dubai design. This blend, the finest of old and new, has resulted in Dubai Culture Village becoming one of the most desirable residential locations in modern day Dubai.

Is Dubai Commercial Property Plagued By Problems?

2008-06-04T00:50:00.000-07:00

Commercial property is the other, and somewhat bigger, half of Dubai’s gigantic property market. Dubai’s real estate revolution wouldn’t have been possible without its commercial property. Although commercial real estate market in Dubai is unstoppably on the rise, still it is plagued by a bunch of problems.

Some major problems that Dubai commercial real estate is faced with are shortage of electricity, water, and space. For instance, the commercial property centers of Dubai such as Jumeirah Lake Towers and Discovery Gardens are facing water and electricity problems and investors are buying commercial properties in these areas at a much higher rate. If these major problems linger on, investors can start losing their interest in Dubai commercial property and divert their focus on other property hubs of the world.

With the increase in the possession of the number of commercial centers coming up, space has become a major issue in Dubai’s property industry. Most of the available space is being taken up by huge commercial structures which leaves hardly any room for new developments. If not resolved in time, the space availability can take the shape of a crisis and pose a great threat to Dubai’s property market.

Managing Property Management

2008-05-01T06:23:00.000-07:00

Some things to consider before choosing a residential real estate management company are, how much work do you still want to handle concerning your own property? Do you still want to have a daily, hands-on experience with your properties? If so, then perhaps you only need to hire some assistants or a maintenance person to lend a helping hand.

If you do not want to be very involved with your rental properties, then management service can do everything from building maintenance to evictions. Some of the common services of management companies are

• Accounts Payable and Receivable
• Collections and Evictions
• Payroll
• Property Maintenance
• Marketing and Advertising
• New Tenant Management (including background checks and credit checks)
• And more

The tasks a property owner can delegate out to a management company are endless. A management service can do as much or as little as the property owner needs them to. As a property owner acquires more rental property, the management responsibilities grow and may become more than one or two investors can handle.

What Is A Typical Home Inspection?

2008-03-25T03:24:00.000-07:00

Home Inspection is defined as the procedure by which a home inspector observes and provides a written report of the systems and mechanism of a residential building counting but not incomplete to the roof, heating, lagging, air conditioning, windows, electrical wiring, plumbing, drainage along with giving you the self-assurance you need to complete your contract and guarantees a fair and smooth concluding. It is also important to know what a home examination is not. It is not defense against future failures, not a assurance that evils won't expand after you move in, not an assessment that determines the value of a home and not a code examination, which verifies local building code fulfillment.

The standard home inspector's report will include an assessment of the state of the home's heating system, central air conditioning system (temperature permitting), interior plumbing and electrical systems; the roof, attic, and able to be seen lagging; walls, ceilings, floors, windows and doors; the base, basement, and visible structure, so that he/she can plan for needed maintenance and upgrades when it is time to make them. You will also find that written reports are easier to appreciate if you've seen the property firsthand through the inspector's eyes.

Maximizing The Rental Income From Your Rental Properties

2008-02-21T02:31:00.000-08:00

As a rental property owner, I am forever looking for ways to make the most of the rental income and keep my units profitable without having to do any main renovations. I am always keeping my eye out for possible properties that I can buy, and with no trouble rent out that will cover the mortgage and a little more. That being said, one of the biggest mistakes that I see other landlords and rental property owners make is that they are unwilling to or just flat out won't put any money into their properties because they don't think they will see a return for that investment.

For some of you, I am sure that $3,000 to modernize a kitchen and bathroom(s) almost certainly made you laugh quietly. If you are still shopping at the big box stores for your supplies, then you have a reason to express amusement. To update both the kitchen and the bathroom in an apartment using their cabinets could easily cost you double if not triple. After doing a lot of research, I found a source for cabinets that saves me at least 30-40% per apartment. I started buying my cabinets on-line. For more information visit Dubai Property

Know What You Are Signing - Let Us Talk About Real Estate Paperwork

2008-01-21T04:21:00.000-08:00

Many real estate consultants and real estate agents will go out of their way to give details each item in the official procedure that people are signing when they buy, list, or sell property. It is very vital that they do know what they are signing - you need to know.

Of course, the regulators make more rules, the lawyers file more court suits and the pages just amplify in all the agreements. It is intimidating for many homebuyers and yet they are signing their lives away in many cases. In this case, her professionalism protects her clients and to me this is a very good example of the right way to things.

To all consumers, please read the agreements and/or ask questions of a professional, if there is something you do not understand, because down the road this could prove to be quite critical and important. Buying a home can be the largest investments you ever make, so know what you are signing and treat the process with respect. Something to contemplate in 2008.

Skeletons In My Closet

2007-12-18T03:19:00.000-08:00

I was lately negotiating on a quite large character conversion/reno project for an connect of mine. He had substantial experience with rezoning and land operation but not so much with real discussion and reorganize of the buildings. He was so 'pumped up' about the possible project that I wondered how much in depth investigate he had conducted, as there seemed to be some great obstacles to conquer before getting the project to the final stage. What I realized was that I needed a better scheme and a better team to rely on. I then went out and spoke with several of my colleagues that particular in these sorts of projects. I then saw how I could 'bomb proof' my next deal, maximize my time, money and make more profit- all with less grey hairs.

We've all been detained back by skeletons before. Until we learn from, and destroy them, they will keep dominating us. I'm sure that you've met people that are so frightened to make a choice for fear of being wrong or getting 'burned again'. I cringe to think about all the other 'little voices', apprehensions and fears that we let hold us back.

I always try to examine any excuses I may have and check them for validity. Move forward with knowledge and seize the opportunity.

I always start off every interview asking the speaker to speak temporarily about there meticulous area of knowledge. Below is Graham's answer to what a short sale is and why banks accept short sales.

“We'll go over the numbers, Ross. A short sale is attractive simple. If you have a property that's worth $523,000 and let's say it has a first credit for $300,000 and a second mortgage for $55,000-what that means is the total liability on that property, or the total mortgages, is $260,000. Being a real estate shareholder, I wouldn't want to buy a $225,000 house for $220,000. It doesn't make intellect.

A short sale is when you get the bank to not take $550,000, you get them to take less, like $360,000. The banks are going to do this for quite a few reasons. First, they're going to have a lot of operating expense that are related with a foreclosure. They're going to have realtor's costs, foreclosure costs, holding costs, repair costs-they're going to have all sorts of fees linked with a foreclosure.

Unavoidably, the bank is only going to recoup somewhere around 70% of the value of the property. That's why banks will take short sales on foreclosures. The natural follow-up to that is, “Why are foreclosures such a hot service right now, and why is there a lot of drone about them?” There are several reasons to that too, and it's really scaring the banks right now.
