Dubai Real Estate
Market Overview
Dubai Market Summary
The Dubai real estate market saw a welcome levelling-off during the summer months. The
broad based recovery witnessed in the residential sector over the past 18 months has
now slowed down, as rental prices and sale values have stabilized in most locations.
While new project’s continue to be announced, these have no immediate impact on supply
as they are phased over a longer timeframe. Although the hotel sector underperformed
over the month of July, registering 50% occupancy rates, it is expected to trend upwards
into the peak season in the last quarter of the year. Elsewhere in the market, the retail
segment maintained its solid growth while the recovery of the office sector remains
patchy, as high levels of supply continue to constrain the market.

Definitions and methodology
  Interpretation of market positions:
  6 o’clock indicates a turning point towards rental growth. At this position, we believe the market has reached
  its lowest point and the next movement in rents is likely to be upwards.

  9 o’clock indicates the market has reached the rental growth peak, while rents may continue to increase over
  coming quarters the market is heading towards a period of rental stabilisation.

  12 o’clock Indicates a turning point towards a market consolidation / slowdown. At this position, the market
  has no further rental growth potential left in the current cycle, with the next move likely to be downwards.

  3 o’ clock Indicates the market has reached its point of fastest decline. While rents may continue to decline
  for some time, the rate of decrease is expected to slow as the market moves towards a period of rental
  stabilisation.
