The House Price Trends in Dubai

In the Emirate, prices increased slightly in April relative to the preceding month. The index shows prices increased by 0.49%. It goes from AED 862/ sq. Ft in March to AED 866/ sq. Ft in April.

While travel constraints enforced by the coronavirus have been addressed, over the month, the emirates have only seen a total of 1,825 transactions, down 47.1 percent from March and a downturn of 36.2 percent every year.

The index shows 72.1% in gross revenue of off-plan deals relative to 27.9% in resales.

The COO of the Property Director, Zhann Jochinke, said: “Historically, this division has ranged 55% off the venture to 45% re-selling. Off-plan properties request higher ticket rates than rivals, as developer rewards, like favorable payment options, concessions, and deductions for expenses, are sometimes inserted into the purchase price.

Every month, resale purchases dropped by 68.4%, while off-plan sales drop by just 13.4% over the same period.

Jochinke added: “Now that accessibility limitations have been relaxed, and transactions to both off-plan and resale assets are possible online, a more natural business combination could come into being.”

The most costly property sold in April was Palm Jumeirah’s Serenia Home, with an AED40 million sale.

Palm Jumeirah is the number one resale apartment for 24 companies in the most common regions, while 120 off-plan units have been sold on the construction of Dubai Creek Harbor.

In Mudon, 17 villas were sold, and 17 off-plan villas were sold in South Dubai (Central Dubai World).
