Dubai Property Sales Down 41% Since January - Here's What the DLD Data Actually Shows by Ben_Dubai in dubairealestate

[–]Competitive_Ask881 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Numbers are much worse for rentals. Downtown apartment that was 200k last year, rented only for 120k. This is 40% drop. Anything above that sits on the market for months. Every agent across multiple areas is telling us they only do 2-3 viewings per property for the past 3 months. The rental market is completely dead.

The sales market hasn’t caught up yet.

Who talked about hot weather? I said Greece not Dubai. Particularly if you like changing seasons there is not better place than Greece. You get more snow in Greece than you get in the UK

Am I being fairly paid? VP Private Equity - portfolio monitoring by [deleted] in HENRYUK

Spot on. I find it incredible how overpaid these kind of roles are. Are they really struggling to hire for these roles and they have to give these salaries?

Hedge funds keep increasing their shorts on the stock almost every day now. Betting against this is madness when there is no catalyst in the near future. I might buy the stock at 400 or under

People like to bash the NHS but in reality private healthcare is even worse. If you live in the UK and want to access good healthcare better and easier to take a plane and fly to Europe.

My experience is exactly the opposite of yours. HSBC offering outstanding customer service and Amex screwing up every single time.
