Best time to Upgrade as Rental Price Fall in Top Areas of Dubai

Falling prices are of a great concern for those who have an outlay on any investment. However, a speculative investor views an opportunity when none seems to exist.

Dubai property market is on a decline for quite a number of years now. It is not the dearth of demand that is causing this. Oversupply due to a large number of development projects is a major factor driving this decline.

Due to a continued gap between supply and demand, Dubai residential property prices will fall another 5-10 per cent this year before steadying in 2020 as per Standard & Poor Global Ratings.

S&P said the residential property market was unlikely to see a meaningful recovery in 2021. Prices have fallen 25 per cent to 33 per cent in nominal terms since 2014, the report said.

Emaar Properties, Dubai's largest listed developer, received a BBB rating from S&P- with a stable outlook. Damac Real Estate Development Ltd had to settle down for a notch downgrade to BB- rating.

Real estate consultancy firm Cavendish Maxwell has said that property prices registered 12-month decline of 6.9 per cent on average.

We at MyVilla further reviewed statistics from Property Monitor for the month of February 2019 and identified these top communities as ideal to upgrade rental villas. When compared month on month, these communities showed a decline in rental prices of 1.5-2.0 per cent on average.

With outstanding development and amenities, these villa communities will provide you with the right reasons to move to a better space and location.
