Properties For Sale In Dubai Are Defying The Credit Crunch

Until recently, it was impossible for foreign nationals to buy properties in Dubai. The real estate boom started in Dubai when changes were brought about in property laws. Dubai’s property market is booming and is looking only one way - and that is up. Unprecedented growth in the economy has led to a sharp growth in the number of expatriates. This increase in the number of expatriates has led to Dubai’s population growing manifold. This increase in population growth, coupled with growth in the economy, has led to an increase in property prices. Overseas investors no longer want to be passive spectators to this unprecedented rise in property prices. 

Foreign nationals are buying properties in Dubai either for their own use or for investment purposes or to let out the property. Buying property for the purpose of letting it is one of the most popular reasons why people invest in Dubai’s property market. Looking at the returns that people get by letting out properties is a clear indicator that there is not going to be any letup in demand for real estate in Dubai. Despite the credit crunch, foreign nationals are lured into investing in Dubai’s property market because of the high returns that they get on property that is let out. Since the returns are high, overseas investments are easy to come by.

People who sell properties in Dubai know the high return buyers get on letting out properties. This is one of the main reasons why properties on sale in Dubai are defying the credit crunch in the market. The economy and the infrastructure in Dubai are developing at a rapid pace. One indication of this rapid development in Dubai is the announcement by the government to open more tourist hot spots. Many recreation projects have either been completed or are on the verge of being completed. Dubai Sports City is a fine example of the efforts taken by the government to develop facilities for recreation seekers. Dubai Sports City provides state of the art facilities that will be enjoyed by sports enthusiasts the world over. All these efforts are aimed at projecting Dubai to be one of the hottest property markets in the world.

Commercial property investment is not the only area of investment in Dubai’s real estate market. Today, demand for residential properties like villas and apartments is far outstripping supply. This difference in demand and supply is making it an attractive investment option for foreign nationals to invest in. All this indicates the market is profitable for people who hold properties in Dubai. If you are one of those who have invested in Dubai’s real estate market before the boom began, then you know that you are sitting on a gold mine. The property market in Dubai is so strong that you remain unaffected by the severe credit crunch that is crippling property markets worldwide.

Experts estimate that by 2010, the population of Dubai will double from its present levels. So if you are looking to buy properties in Dubai at throw away prices I suggest you look at other property markets.
