- READY PROPERTIES ARE POPULAR: Buyers are looking to purchase Ready Properties to secure immediate yield, mortgages and to inspect buildings.
- FOCUS ON PROPERTY QUALITY: Quality asset purchases will outperform speculative purchases across the emirate.
Expert Negotiation Tactics: Leveraging Financial Readiness and Data

Property experts recommend looking at real figures paid as recorded by the Dubai Land Department (DLD).
- Cash Buyers Have An Advantage: Sellers will often offer lower prices to those paying in cash or have approved mortgages. This gives them guaranteed closing dates and they can therefore offer a better deal.
- Look At Multiple Units: If you are looking to buy within a new development that has multiple owners selling the same layout, you can look at the price per floor and view to see what the realistic market rate is.
- Show You’re Ready To Pay: Using these methods will show sellers you’re ready to pay and you can therefore negotiate from a strong position.

Whilst some areas will see new products being added to the market creating competition, quality developments with great facilities and well planned infrastructure will remain high in demand.
