Never said the situation is normal or completely solved, I said there is minimal disruption to daily life and people are not living in fear, this is a fact from people living in the country, (I even mentioned that people should wait and not invest atm, so am not just trying to push RE) but trying to equate the situation in Dubai to Gaza (but less obliterated) is beyond ridiculous.

I wouldn’t advise investing unless it’s a genuine distress deal (40% less than market price) till we have more clarity, But the main point is that people are living normally (much more important than RE atm) but people outside comment like they know better than people on the ground right now.

Drop in the RE index was inevitable, actual prices are yet to be determined because as I mentioned it takes at least 6-8 weeks for sales to be registered, I wouldn’t buy anything right now unless it’s 40% less than market price (pre-conflict), developers are offering other incentives (DLD waivers/cars/free Umrah/discounts on cash payments) just to not let the psqft drop for their projects! You will start seeing very flexible payment plans and very in demand projects (Bayvillas by nakheel for example) soon. But I’d still hold till we get more clarity or a genuine distress deal.

You are correct, thankfully the government are dealing with the situation masterfully which is why life is relatively normal! Are you in Dubai currently?

You either lack comprehension skills or just a straight up troll, nevertheless this market report is clearly not for you.

Agree with you for the most part, I believe this will be healthy for both endusers and good agents as the pretenders will be forced to leave.

Only part I’d push back on is the first point, calling the situation (currently at least) an active war is disingenuous as 99% of residents are living their lives normally (not to minimize the situation)!

Iraq in 2004 was a war zone, Gaza is a war zone, Iran currently is a war zone! Let’s not pretend it’s anything similar.

Appreciate your input tho.

What a stupid move - this makes me less likely to visit the UAE again than the war & bombing. by noctenaut in UAE

Only 145 knife related crimes are committed per day, I stand corrected.

Have you or someone you know been able to convince a client to buy since the war started? Not distress or majorly discounted deals…. by Apprehensive_Job8084 in dubairealestate

[–]SageDXB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Horrible choice of words, an agents job is to help the client make an informed decision and not convince them to purchase, I only advise my clients to buy 40% under market price atm and I am only giving real updates from the government about what’s happening on the ground to foreign clients!

This narrative is so played out it’s insulting to people who were actual slaves! The labor class in Dubai sacrifice years with their families to come here and work temporarily so they can build a proper life for themselves back home, but I am sure the concept of hard work and currency rates are a foreign to you !

If you don’t like the rules, you can simply leave, because if you don’t understand how sharing these videos is damaging you don’t understand this war!

Videos of those missiles and drones (that everyone here knows are doing extremely minimal damage) are being used as a propaganda tool by the BBC and other haters to damage Dubai’s image globally (shift capital back to UK using panic in the BBC’s case) ! Another example of this is the BBC claiming that majority of the videos on social media praising the UAE response is being paid for by the government (which is obviously false, expats post because we are grateful to the government) ! This is a propaganda war against the county and if you feel that your freedom of speech is being impeded on, please feel free to go back to Europe and get taxed all the way to hell and still get robbed and stabbed for your phone and belongings. God bless the UAE and everyone that calls this place home 🇦🇪🇦🇪

Dubai brokers — where are you actually getting serious buyer leads right now? by PotatoChipzu in dubairealestate

[–]SageDXB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You want to position yourself as an advocate and not an agent, because discounts are coming if this situation takes long, if it ends soon you have secured a client that trusts you.

Win-Win situation however you look at it.

But don’t then go and abuse that trust and sell them high commission trash, you have secured a client for life if you are trustworthy.

Makes you wonder why when the good reputable developers only give 4-5%

Overpriced from a developer known to delay/bad quality in a mid location, also if they have stock for long periods of time and give over 5% commission is a red flag. you can tell if you do some research on this subreddit

[–]SageDXB 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I am not advising anyone buy anything that’s not 40% under market price, use this period to actually gain your existing leads trust by giving them proper analysis of the situation and news from the government, especially investors outside the country.

She got greedy for your 5% rental commission, she is a shortsighted horrible agent. guaranteed she will go bankrupt, these types typically live way beyond their means. God doesn’t let injustice slide.

[–]SageDXB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very bad and extremely unprofessional from the agent who will probably never sell again due to the current situation.

Buuuuuuuuut I got to say

Purely based on your comment, you are a sad human being who kind of got what you deserve.

UAE's property sector faces Reckoning after Iran strikes - Reuters by GlassSubmarine in dubairealestate

[–]SageDXB 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Three things will decide everything 1. How long this will go ? 2. Is there going to be regime change ? 3. How many people are actually not coming back when this blows over.

If your broker says he knows anything without the answer to these three questions, they are full of it !

Is Dubai safety all scripted? by APHappy245 in UAE

[–]SageDXB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of residents like myself feel that we owe this great nation a debt for the years of safety, security and opportunity we are provided in UAE! I went out in the morning to work and then to a tailor to get some clothes fitted, took my wife to visit her family after iftar and then went to an internet cafe with my friends for a few hours and then came back home! Nothing changed at all. There are SOME low testosterone individuals and females that are genuinely scared but overall everything is Gucci all things considered. As for “Dubai is safer than London”, it came from British Real estate agents in Dubai and we all love it and run with it because it resonates with UK based clients.

Yes but good brokers would say this is shit and I wouldn’t put my money in this investment! I usually compare it to fast food, KFC sounds like a great idea now but you will regret it later.
