The 2021 year has proven to be extremely lucky for the upscale real estate market of Dubai as more ultra-luxe properties have been sold than any year since 2015. This UAE city observed 22 sales crossing over $10 million in the recent 5 months, as revealed by Bloomberg News. This is even higher than the previous year’s 19 sales. The head of Middle East Research at Knight Frank, explained to the report: “The rebounding of Dubai’s super prime market echoes a wider global trend, signaling the start perhaps of a Roaring Twenties for global real estate.”
The 2015 year was an epitome of the city’s luxurious properties market. But in the following years, the market suffered a blow due to the factors of inferior currency, political disturbances, decreased oil prices and oversupply in Dubai. In 2019, a 25% reduction in prices was observed since the 2015 peak. Similarly, Abu Dhabi also observed a decrease and it tried to uplift the market by permitting foreigners to own property for the first time in 2019.
A warning from Knight Frank was recently issued that the glute in residences might continue to apply a negative effect on the real estate market. Majority of sales above $10 million were actually for homes at the man-made island of Palm Jumeirah. These sales amounted to a total of $770 million. One of these sales was done by Michael Alibhai who purchased a mega mansion. He bought the 14,000 square feet unit in the last year at the cost of AED 33 million. In this year, he sold the property for AED 30.2 million, as reported by Barron’s.
However, many influential developers of Dubai are still struggling. For instance, Meydan and Limitless are reforming debt but ended up delaying. Damac Properties delisted losses and shares.
But not all lucrative properties have been snatched by residents and foreigners because many are available while many are being developed. See the following expensive properties with their specific prices.
