Highlights
Residential real estate prices have continued to consolidate in
Q4 2014, and annual price growth has slowed as expected this
year. For the year to December, mid-range villa prices fell 6.7%
and mid-range apartments grew by 4.7%. Higher transaction fees
and mortgage caps have helped to cool the market.
The medium term outlook for residential real estate prices is
strong however, with Phidar Advisory forecasting a shortage of
residential units in Dubai by the end of 2018.
Commercial property lease rates also stabilised in Q4 2014.
Prime office space prices rose 17.5% y/y and secondary
commercial space rose 21.1% y/y, unchanged from Q3.
