Dear Imran sb
As salamualaikum

Just for information. Please let me know that during this recession time in Dubai/UAE, what offers are you getting for your appartment? And for how much did you buy the apartment?

Dear Mohsin.
Dubai has got a very strong market. Recession is only effecting new projects which are on papers only.
The projects which are ready or under constructon are very little effected. In other words it is droped down from its peak but still with good profit margin.
The recession is due to end in next 6 to 12 months. New airport in Jebel Ali is going to get construction signal in 2009. Metro rail will also be in operation next year. Lakes / Canals are being contructed which will attract more visitors.

Tahir, are the mega projects like burj dubai, old town commercial islands and others in the surrounding are running as per scedule.I heard that they are lagging far behind the schedule and may be delayed further due to recent recession.

Ready property with residential potetial will lose only about 25% to 50% value as we have seen in Lahore as well, the Projects in pipline will come to earth and people may lose lots of money in them, and later account for about 80% in Dubai and 95% in Ajman. The point of Bubble bust in Dubai is such that no one will be winner, Rents might come down marginnally because of some supply and winding up of Constuction activities [people losing Jobs and going back to their homes as in 1995], Had it been after completion of 50%+ projects you must have got chance to buy at very attractive rates, as happened in US where most of Projects got completed before market crashed.
The current sceinrio will put more strain on Banking and mortgage sector if projects are to be completed.
