Population Growth Shows Slack: Better Chance at UAE Properties for Investors

The statistics first: 

Compared to last January, this year is seeing population growth slashed by a half.

Compared to the number of visas issued last year (93,957) this year has witnessed a cut in numbers (88,423 issued this year). 

Logical inference: 

Less people are coming into Dubai to work, stay, etc., while more people are leaving the Emirate for home countries, greener pastures, etc. 

Is it time to get alarmed? Not really. 

At least not where Dubai real estate and investment matters. There are some great UAE properties for sale out there and if you have wizened up to the real estate situation, then you just might get lucky. 

SkyDome Properties for instance, has access to several Dubai and Abu Dhabi properties currently selling at discounted packages. The projects in Dubai Land, Business Bay, Dubai Marina and Jumeirah Beach are some of the UAE residential properties on sale. 

Our Dubai property investment company suggests homeowners and investors alike think hard about purchasing property during the current economic scenario. Given Dubai’s penchant for rebuilding and reinventing itself, you could never know when the tide turns and changes property investment in Dubai for the better. 

As a homeowner/investor, would you consider buying/investing in a Dubai apartment for sale now or later when you are more certain of the market? Send in your comments and suggestions to SkyDome Properties.

Transportation Updates for Dubai & Abu Dhabi Properties Holders

The state of traffic in Dubai is undoubtedly one of the primary concerns voiced by those intending to buy properties in Abu Dhabi and Dubai for the first time or settle in a locality different from their current one. In this regard, the RTA (Roads and Transport Authority) is working very hard to ease the situation. 

Recently, nineteen double-decker buses were introduced on the Dubai roads and the number is expected to increase to seventy before the year is out. In comparison to privately owned cars and taxicabs, modes of transport like buses are definitely the better option for those who commute regularly. 

If you plan to purchase any investment property in Dubai, bus routes that offer convenient transport could be one of the factors to take into consideration for fixing on the locality you would like to live in. 

The ‘Pink’ bus is another heavily anticipated travel option in Dubai. Meant for female commuters, this effort to ease travelling comfortably for women is viewed as something of a sequel to the earlier launch of the Pink taxi. 

Similarly, for those evaluating UAE properties for sale in Abu Dhabi it would be good to know about the fifteen percent drop in fatalities and injuries due to road accidents in the city. Compared to Dubai, the UAE capital is much less crowded and also presents a good number of Abu Dhabi properties for sale. 

Make a studied decision of the locality you would like to settle down in before you go ahead with your decision to buy properties in Dubai. The time you take is well worth the decision you make.

UAE Properties Developers Finally Making the Going Easier on Buyers

For those contemplating a Dubai property investment the times are fair indeed, but spare a thought for what the property developers and construction houses are facing and it is a sobering trip to reality. Regardless, Deyaar one of Dubai’s primary real estate developers has found a balance. 

In a first of its kind move in the Dubai real estate investment business, a property developer has curtailed development and eliminated projects after selling the units. A dual-benefit approach, Deyaar is offering its customers the option to switch the UAE properties they have already purchased with alternatives that suit their requirements. 

Of course, those buying properties in Dubai (for Deyaar projects) will have to choose from the options that are remaining after their project development slash. The crux of the matter is Deyaar has paved the way for other developers to follow suit and salvage something out of the losses that seem not so far away. 

What about those who have purchased UAE residential properties from Deyaar and cannot find a better alternative? 

SkyDome Properties advises these parties to make a studied choice of the rest of the UAE properties for sale market and then decide. Select Deyaar projects are even being offered at specially reduced rates to make things easier on the buyer. In such a light, is it wise to forgo all the financial benefits? 

If you cannot make up your mind, hire a consultant for property investment in Dubai. Look carefully at all the pros and cons he will be in a state to highlight and then go ahead with your decision to buy property in Dubai.

Before you Buy Property in Dubai Check the Market Status

Apartments, villas and suites constructed by some of the most prominent property development houses in the UAE are listed in the SkyDome Properties directory- Nakheel, Damac, Eternal Star, Emmar and Rak to name a few. 

These houses and UAE commercial properties speak of quality construction and engineering and can prove to have high returns in the future largely due to the location in which they are constructed. However, as an investor there is one vital factor you need to observe before making an investment. 

Consider the Dubai real estate investment market for the past decade. It will help you decide how to allocate your funds and determine the best time to buy property in Abu Dhabi or elsewhere in the Emirates. 

Veteran real estate investors may be positive about the Dubai property investment market, but it would be fool hardy to risk money without understanding the dynamics dictating such a situation. You might as well rent UAE properties (the rents have cooled down lately). 

Dubai real estate investment professionals are already predicting a shaky year for property investment in Dubai and from the look of things, Abu Dhabi properties could suffer as well. 

So before you get excited about the low price of many UAE properties, take time to get a professional opinion and make your decision accordingly. SkyDome Properties can help you out with market analysis, mortgage options and property selection besides helping with a host of different issues first-time homeowners face.

Improved Road Transport For UAE Commercial Properties Holders

Looking at the fortuitous start the Road Transport Association has had this year, no one can accuse the government body of negligence. In a bid to increase environmental awareness and road safety, the RTA introduced the first awards for sustainable transport. 

As the categories for judging included managing and streamlining mobility, transport safety and environment conservation, it is safe to say that the traffic situation in Dubai is improving. For employers owning commercial property in Dubai and having their employees travel some distance to come to work, this is good news. 

The peak-hour traffic slugging along Sheikh Zayed Road is tiresome to say the least and therefore most workers prefer to rent houses that are closer to their workplaces. An improved and organized traffic system, the Dubai Metro and a significant increase in the bus fleet numbers make for a formidable combination, one that could very well help out with housing problems. 

The Dubai Police officers patrolling the road are proposed to see an increase from the present number of 100 to 1000 as well, making implementing traffic laws and regulations easier and stricter. This will also benefit the black point system simultaneously. 

Start scanning the various UAE commercial properties for office or factory space that can be purchased at a practical amount. No matter what area in Dubai offices are based in, organizations will have a less tardy workforce- one that also does not need to spend precious time waiting for the car in front of them to move.

Watching Dubai Property Investment Grow & Slacken

The President and Vice President of the UAE are doing all they can to alleviate the housing situation in Gaza, desperate as it is, with a pledge to construct 600 housing units in the country. There are a lot more instances like this to accentuate the efforts the UAE is making for the Palestinians. 

In Dubai property and investment, the situation is just the opposite. Of course, the city is not exactly in the grip of conditions of war, but conditions might as well be as dire. 

Real estate developers are being asked to slow on property construction progress as the Emirate records its very first deficit. From the thirteen percent per annum growth Dubai used to record, there is a markable lowering observed- one predicted to last until 2015. 

Already, UAE properties like the Dubai Waterfront and Palm Jebel Ali are moving at a slower pace. Real estate consultants advise investors and buyers to check out for similar behavior among their investments. Commercial property in Dubai especially, is an area that investors need to be wary regarding. 

Hiring the services of a real estate consultant who understands the market intimately is a necessity in these times of decline. When you decide to select a particular location, make sure you or your organization have identified all the opportunities and options available. 

It does not matter if the construction projects are being undertaken by established names in the housing construction business, UAE commercial properties all over are affected.

Expat Update: Buy Property in Dubai With Better Financial Means

With nationals comprising only 20 percent of its population, Dubai is as cosmopolitan a city as it could possibly get. The expatriates and tourists that make up the rest of the numbers include nationals from every part of the world. 

Hence, the Dubai government can in no way ignore this section of the populace, one that contributes so much to the treasury of the Emirate. Among and besides the myriad aids forwarded towards the expat population where Dubai property investment is concerned, is help with the rental structure and procedures. 

Similarly, the part-time work scheme currently in its planning stages with the Dubai Executive Council seems shaped to provide the foreign residents with more such help. A one-year experiment, this plan is currently gauging the requirements of the Dubai nationals. 

For those individuals unable to work full-time for any reason whatsoever, this scheme will prove very useful. It will also allow full-time workers to continue work as part-time workers if they so wish. The main idea is to maximize the potential of every worker and encourages productivity. 

The best part about working as an expat in Dubai is the array of options available for living. From entertainment options like Ski Dubai (the world’s only largest indoor ski resort) and innumerable cinema halls, to world-class cuisine and education, expatriates often marvel at the urbanity of life in Dubai. 

As an expat, if you are interested in renting or buying property in Dubai, then make a safe decision and hire the services of professional realty consultants. Adjusting to a new country can be difficult and the language barriers can pose a sizeable problem as well.

Real Estate Tribunal In Dubai - New U.A.E. Properties Development?

The Real Estate Regulatory Authority (Rera) of Dubai is redoubling its efforts to streamline the Dubai real estate investment sector. Predictions and Barack Obama’s winning strategies aside, 2009 seems like a good year for change in the U.A.E. real estate segment. 

Rental rates for instance, are required to be fair to renters as well as proprietors and Rera is doing all it can to establish this balance of prices. The chief of the Rera even went as far as stating that rent caps are unnecessary for this year. 

On the Dubai property investment front, Rera enforced an order that prohibits developers and banks from accepting more than 20 percent of the payment from parties who want to buy property in Dubai earlier in the month. This has come as a welcome step for many interested in buying properties in Abu Dhabi as well as Dubai. 

While a Property Court and Real Estate Development Trust Account Department has already been up and running, Rera plans to introduce a property agents committee, developers committee and an evaluators committee. 

The body is leaving no stone unturned where construction and property investment in Dubai is involved. A website for registration of tenancy contracts too has been set up, to ensure proper monitoring of the various property deals. In light of all these reforms, a real estate tribunal for the city-state does not seem far behind. 

Get in touch with established consultants for buying properties in Dubai as they can help you out with the legalese known to accompany property deals. The professional help can aid you greatly as you wait for the reforms to take shape.

New Options For Commercial Property In Dubai

Dubai loves sports as much as it does building new towers and impossible skyscrapers, witness the Dubai Sports City. Entirely dedicated to sports, games and entertainment, this is one commercial property in Dubai that retailers definitely cannot miss out on.

While international brands are expected to set up shop in the various avenues weaving thorugh Sports City, there are sporting brands stepping in to begin various sports academies and training grounds. Another commercial property worth making a Dubai real estate investment in is The Sevens- the new home of the Emirates Airlines Rugby Sevens.

Rugby fans appreciate the new venue, which boasts of ample parking and an excellent pitch and think it is definite step better than the previous establishment.

The demand for U.A.E. commercial properties is, if anything increasing and at SkyDome Properties we are well aware of the retailer’s need for premier retail space at an un-exorbitant rate.

 Take the new expansion plans for the Dubai Airport Free Zone area, where six new buildings are expected to develop before the year ends. Home to 1,500 multinational companies, the Dubai Airport Free Zone has good retail potential; something those interested in buying properties in Dubai will appreciate.

Get in touch with SkyDome Properties to know the Dubai property investment options you have for your retail space. We can help you out with scanning and analyzing the Dubai real estate market and finding the right space for your retail area. 

Unusual U.A.E. Properties & Unlikelier Dubai Residents

Dubai is truly terra extraordinaire. If there is anything that has to be yet attempted by a person living in Dubai then it is because someone has to still think of something novel.

Babu Sassi calls a crane cab on the tallest skyscraper on the planet home. It is definitely a most unusual Dubai property investment for a person to make. The South Indian construction worker says it is just too much trouble to travel all the way down after a hard day’s work and hence prefers the little cabin.

The rate for U.A.E. properties for sale at the Burj Dubai currently range from 2,145,244 to 4,226,755. Compared with Mr. Sassi’s ‘property’ price, it is definitely an up-gradation in both U.A.E. residential properties and their prices.

However, while Mr. Sassi owns an unusual home, there are even more unusual occupants you can come across in the Emirate. We are talking about the dolphins occupying the massive aquarium at the Atlantis Hotel in Palm Jumeirah. Twenty four of the mammals are currently in residence at The Atlantis much to the delight of the hotel residents.

If you are interested in buying properties in Dubai and would like to settle for more sedate options though, try SkyDome Properties. Browse through an extensive and well priced database of commercial property in Dubai or look through the U.A.E. residential properties on offer. We can help you make the right choice and live in much better locations.

Concrete In The Limelight At The Big 5 – Good For Property Investment in Dubai

The 5-day long exhibition held at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre termed The Big 5 ends tomorrow, but not without an unusual commodity preening for all its worth before the doors shut.

Concrete, a construction necessity in the tower-loving Emirate, now has new ways in which it can be replaced, aesthetically enhanced or reinforced. Chemicals experts LANXESS for instance, have focused on colored concrete, which they claim is perfect for use in the property investment in Dubai sector- one that is very high on aesthetic elements.

Liquid Sand Slab is another product set to displace (possibly) concrete altogether. Marketed by German-based company DSI Arteon, this special chemical solution can solidify sand and make it as strong as concrete. The resulting material can even withstand the strain of an airport runway within 24-hours of spraying the chemical on sand or even gravel.

The plus point of this product undoubtedly lies in its cost- lesser than concrete production and procurement. Ultimately, use of a product like the Liquid Sand Slab could reflect on U.A.E. properties prices, which would no doubt reduce.

American company Efficient Building Systems structural concrete forms are yet another offering set on revolutionizing concrete use. The nature of these forms renders wait time for the concrete-curing process unnecessary.

For those interested in buying properties in Dubai, such developments for a building element as vital as concrete can prove to be great for a better property deal. Less time, resources and money for production translates to less expensively priced buildings.

Get to know from SkyDome Properties how you can get the best out of your investment.

Constructing In Bahrain The Best Among U.A.E. Properties

This statement comes straight from the World Bank and the International Finance Corporation in their annual report Doing Business 2009.

The Sultanate of Bahrain is viewed as another oasis in the Middle East and the U.A.E. properties market largely due to the significantly lesser procedures involved, and the reduced time it takes to obtain a building permit for construction. 

Sadly, Dubai does not figure anywhere on this list. Nonetheless, far from being a setback, there are definite plus points to be enjoyed in a Dubai property investment.

Take the recent real estate laws and regulations that were passed in Dubai. These rules place tremendous responsibility on the developer to deliver as promised on the purchased property, in the absence of which investors can rescind their registration.

Developers in turn can bestow residency visas to the party making a Dubai real estate investment with them. The authorities maintain that such measures not only reduce the processes and paperwork involved, but also ascertain that some degree of responsibility on the developer, investor as well as the broker is recognized.

The government is doing all it can to increase ventures for investment property in Dubai, and such balance of power should put Dubai on the next Doing Business list.

Regardless of the current economic situation, there are some fantastic opportunities for property investment in Dubai. Do not contact your nearest dealer to avail of them though, get in touch with an expert in U.A.E. properties for sale.

Missing Trends - More Americans Buying Properties In Dubai

All eyes are on America right now, what with Barack Obama’s election as the new US president. From the policies he is professing to implement, America seems poised to be known as the land of opportunities once again.

A lot of Emiratis however, are skeptical. Dr. Geoff Pound of Experiencing the Emirates found himself the recipient of correspondences from several Americans who thought of changing tack and heading to the U.A.E. - to combat unemployment in their home country. Such behavior remains true to population trends all over the world. 

It is just a matter of time until the American expat population rises to meet the European and Asian numbers, which are significant to say the least.

The Dubai property investment sector is prepared though. From high-rises and Dubai apartments for sale to U.A.E. residential properties in suburban areas, the choice is varied for Americans.

Of course, for most foreign nationals, the gulf weather might prove to be a deterrent as it is dryer and more arid compared to American climate. The infrastructure and facilities provided by the government however, take care of this concern.

Any Abu Dhabi properties or apartments and villas come fully equipped with the amenities required to maintain a lifestyle that makes the best of the weather. Even bus stops, public transports and public areas are air-conditioned. Dubai, thanks to its high foreigner population (1.2 million) has no choice but to arrange for such provisions.

So if you are an American thinking of purchasing or even interested in an investment property in Dubai, all you have to do is get in touch with a reliable real estate firm to make your choice.

The Malls Of Dubai – Buy A Property In Dubai Next To One & Enjoy The Benefits

Malls feature high on the places to visit and experience in any urban location. Harrods in London, the Sunway Pyramid in Malaysia and Macy’s in New York are in a way symbolic of the cities they occupy.

Dubai, however cannot hope for just one mall to symbolize its entire retail culture. The Golden Emirate is no candidate for mediocrity- certainly not with the cornucopia of malls it has to offer.

The latest and hottest commercial property in Dubai is the Dubai Mall with its 10-level parking and record-breaking acrylic panel that is part of the in-house aquarium.

The predecessors for the Dubai Mall are no less extravagant. Mall of the Emirates, which houses the Middle East’s first indoor ski resort, tops this list for the very same reason.

Just like the rate of development noticeable in the Dubai property investment sector, the various malls- new and existing, are reflections of this development. From the ambitious construction designs to the host of amenities and recreational options available- the various malls in Dubai are all for making shopping or simply passing the time more fun and life more convenient.

Take Mall of the Emirates for instance. Shoppers can skip off to the replica Swiss village resort at the indoor skiing course for a day of snow-filled frolic, and can attend midday prayers at the mosque on the third floor as well. Talk about a comprehensive shopping experience!

SkyDome Properties, one of Dubai’s leading property investment concerns suggest U.A.E. residential properties close to shopping areas for those who wish to make the best of such recreational options. We can even help you out with queries for U.A.E. commercial properties located in shopping malls and souks.

Some New Firsts And Sisterly Developments In The U.A.E.

Dr. Geoff Pound at Experiencing the Emirates claims the U.A.E. has been 'always besotted with world records' and cites the recent announcement to introduce internet domain names in Arabic as a prime example. We couldn't agree more with this.

In the housing and construction sector, this feeling has always been uninhibitedly displayed. Architectural marvels like the Burj Al Arab and the kilometer-long Nakheel Harbor & Tower have added their own appeal to this eminently U.A.E. properties fascination.

In light of Dubai's attempts to go green, the Middle East's largest photo-voltaic manufacturing plant simply adds to this growing list of 'firsts'. The plant is expected to generate energy from waste and if the Dubai Municipality division's plans are anything to go by then a rating system for buildings will spearhead the change, effectively inviting a new style of construction.

What better setting to make your Dubai property investment in!

Moves like these are necessary for a region where skyscrapers jostle with tourists and double up congestion and pollution levels. Already, campaigns instigated by the RTC and Dubai Police have led to a reduction in road fatalities.

If matters continue to improve in such a speedy manner than it will not only benefit Dubai real estate investment but also spread its reach to the Abu Dhabi properties sector. Indeed, this could even result in the latter Emirate being on par with a well-planned city like Brisbane ultimately becoming its sister city!

Real Estate Investment In Dubai For Expatriates

In 2006, statistics revealed a surge in Dubai's population from 1.130 million to 1.422 million. This feat took barely a year to achieve- notwithstanding the number of tourists who visited the country.

In 2007, there was a total population of 4.48 million people noted in Dubai with expatriates numbering a whopping 3.62 million.

The numbers speak volumes for the expatriate population currently residing in Dubai. Engaged in everything from construction to banking and menial labor, the expatriate community in Dubai is a growing one and very lately, thriving as well.

The lure of high salaries and world-class amenities are perhaps some of the major attractions for this section leading them to purchase U.A.E. residential properties as well as commercial property in Dubai.

SkyDome Properties has noticed a demand for locations with villa projects like Al Reef Villas and the regional theme villas in Jumeirah Park. Exclusive addresses in Business Bay like Churchill Residency and Emirates Park Towers and even those in the recreation and sports-intensive Dubai Sports City find a mention in the skyscrapers favored by expatriates.

From the earlier economic boom in Dubai to the present stagnancy, expatriates are loathe to let go of the dream that is Dubai. At the rate at which the population is matching strides with the growing availability of property investment in Dubai, there will be no problem finding accommodation suited for any and every pocket.

Boom Times For People With Abu Dhabi Properties

All this talk about Dubai has detracted us from another equally (if not more) prosperous Emirate- Abu Dhabi. After Dubai, this city ranks as the most populous city in the U.A.E.

Quite naturally, given the similarities between the two Emirates, Abu Dhabi properties experience a high demand as well.

This predominantly island region is surrounded by the Persian Gulf on the north and the Sultanates of Saudi and Oman on the south and east respectively. With a 5.6 percent population growth rate, Abu Dhabi properties are being developed at a faster rate to accomodate the labor and the residents pouring into the city.

If you are looking to buy properties in Abu Dhabi, then this could be a great time to begin your U.A.E. properties investment.

According to the 12th annual World Wealth Report released a few days back by Merrill Lynch and Capgemini, the U.A.E.'s high net worth individuals (HNWI) escalated to 79,000 from 68,000 in 2007. In comparison, the average net worth for Abu Dhabi's citizens is an impressive US$ 17 million.

A number of ambitious projects are being undertaken and are currently in the works in Abu Dhabi, the New York State University being just one of them. Twenty nine percent of future GCC (Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf) plans are being jointly handled with major participation from Abu Dhabi as well.

You don't want to miss being a part of this wave of change. Buy a property in Abu Dhabi with analytic help from SkyDome Properties. We can help you with your U.A.E. properties investment.

Green Living In Dubai At Luxurious SkyDome Properties

A growing trend that is fast becoming a fixture in various media and culture is eco-living or ‘going green’. Referring to a lifestyle that is as minimally damaging to the surrounding environment as it can get, green living is a fabulous option that many are embracing.

One of the foremost emulators of green living is the housing and interiors sectors, which have generated a massive demand for a life that is environmentally conscious. The West is not alone though; such a concept has gained momentum in implementation even in U.A.E. properties and real estate.

In fact, a priority subject that is going to be addressed at the International Standards Organization (ISO) meet in Dubai City in October is going to be the effect of the U.A.E. construction business on the environment and ecology.

One of the existing measures for eco-friendly construction in Dubai however is a very important rating system known as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED). Abu Dhabi properties are currently in the process of implementing such a building code.

The Mirdif City Center (a shopping center in Uptown Dubai) is presently the first shopping destination in Dubai that will be following the green code. Numerous U.A.E. commercial properties and investment property in Dubai are expected to follow suit.

SkyDome Properties listings include Dubai real estate investment with illustrious developers like Emmar, Nakheel, Tameer, Damac and the Sanali Group.

To select a Dubai apartment for sale or an investment property in Dubai that is efficiently green, contact the SkyDome Properties office on Sheikh Zayed Road or else mail us.
