ValuStrat Price Index: Focus on prime Downtown Dubai

One of the nine locations monitored by the prime index is Downtown Dubai, which saw capital values gaining 2.3%

since Q1 2017, making it one of the best performing prime locations monitored by the Prime VPI. Last year, Burj

Khalifa saw marginal gains but was offset by capital value declines of 0.8% when compared to the last quarter of

2017.

Dubai’s upscale freehold clusters get a breather

"Villas in Palm Jumeirah fared much better and appreciated more than 2 per cent mid-2017 and are now flat while apartments are now 19.6 per cent below their

peak but did see tiny gains middle of last year and remained relatively stable during Q1 2018”, says

ValuStrat's Declan King MRICS, Managing Director & Group Head of Real Estate.

18.04.18

19.04.18

“During Q1 2018 key locations with high proportions of off plan activity included Business Bay at 88% of all transactions, Jumeirah Village at 80% and Al Furjan at 65%”, said Haider Tuaima, Head of Real Estate Research at ValuStrat.

The first quarter saw 60% of all residential home transactions being off-plan

Housing conundrum: health or savings?

"No doubt, renting in Sharjah is more affordable for a certain income bracket of Dubai workers. But even when a cheaper or similar priced larger apartment is available in the northern emirates, the commute to and from Dubai can become a major issue", reckons Haider Tuaima, Head of Real Estate Research at ValuStrat.

15.05.18

Know when to sellDeclan King MRICS, Managing Director & Group Head for

Real Estate at ValuStrat suggests using the criteria of “location, off-plan vs ready and payment plan vs

mortgage deal” to make the best choices. He points out that these factors could positively and negatively affect the real estate market until 2021, including population

growth and the introduction of the value-added tax.

18.05.18How much does it cost to rent a co-working space in Dubai?

ValuStrat research indicates that cost savings, as compared to a more traditional office set-up, are generally in the region of up to 30%. However, a simple comparison in Jumeirah Lake Towers revealed that shared space could be sourced for up to 50% less than a traditional office.
