Upcoming Expo 2020 Stabilizing Dubai Homes for Sale
Dubai homes for sale prices is expected to resume growth sometime
in 2018 after the ongoing market correction finally sets itself at a more stable
phase. The second quarter value of Dubai residential properties saw a 1.5% drop
from the first quarter of this year. Prices of villas dropped 2.2% and
apartments at 1% with the real estate rental industry expected to finish the
year at 10% lower compared to 2016. The number of vacancies are indeed rising
across the city as real estate property rental owners are now experiencing the
effects of the continuing downturn. Some are still reluctant on lowering the
prices of rents and awaiting a rebound this year. Unfortunately, market
predictions are showing signs that the expected upturn will not happen this
year. The 15% to 20% overvalue of Dubai’s residential market industry is in
need of market corrections to the point that adjustments made will lead to
stability. Further predictions are pointing at 2018 when growth will resume and
slowly progress onward.
Why is there a downturn?
The downturn that happened
affects not only the Dubai real estatefor rent properties but UAE’s very economy. The drop in oil prices caused
widespread job cuts across all industry sectors. The effect severely caused the
reduction of high-paying jobs that resulted to lower household incomes. Without
a proper salary to pay off the rent, vacancies became rampant leading to the
decrease of the rental market industry. Single-family homes or known locally as
villas are affected the most by the downturn. Apartment values stayed the same
because renters from villas are obviously transferring to the much cheaper
rental prices offered by apartments. The downsizing of households also adds up
to pressuring the market and requiring further corrections in the process.
The Expo 2020 Effect
The climbing vacancies of real estate houses as well as the
prices trending downward is now slowing down and will halt by 2018. The economy
is steadily recovering and job opportunities are once again on the rise. This
is all thanks to the looming Expo 2020 which is also driving up tenant demand.
Expo 2020 is long-anticipated world fair expected to attract 25 million tourists
and visitors to the UAE. The steady influx of population will boost the economy
and help in the stabilization of the whole real estate market. The process will
be slow but growth is assured sometime in 2018 and improving further annually
leading to the Expo 2020.
