Mercado inmobiliario en UAE
Esto es muy sano, y es como debe de ser, demanda real y no especulativa con buenos ratios renta/precio:
Nine out of ten home buyers in the UAE are now end-users, representing a significant shift in the country’s real estate sector, according to ISlamic lender Tamweel.
The findings are based on analysis of home finance extended by Tamweel between January 2011 and June 2012, Tamweel said on Sunday.
The lender described the move to end-users availing home finance as "a positive change in the UAE home finance market".
The Dubai housing market previously suffered from a spate of investors who bought property in the emirate only to "flip" it to others.
Flipping properties is the business of buying villas and apartments off-plan and then selling them before they are built, a strategy that made millions for some but contributed to Dubai’s housing crash.
Property prices in Dubai soared after the city opened its real estate sector to foreign investors in 2002, granting them freehold ownership rights at many developments.
From start-2007 to mid-2008, prices rallied almost 80 percent, Morgan Stanley estimates showed, with billions of dollars worth of new projects launched by local developers.
But home prices in Dubai, the Gulf property market that had the biggest reversal because of the financial crisis, fell more than 60 percent in the wake of the global credit crunch.
"The past 18 months have witnessed a profound shift in the UAE home finance sector," said Varun Sood, acting CEO of Tamweel.
"Importantly, customers are no longer seeking to over-leverage themselves, and are instead fully prepared for significant equity participation, which is a very healthy characteristic of the UAE home finance sector today."
Last month, Tamweel said UAE home finance transactions in 2012 were likely to be 30 percent higher than in 2011, adding that it estimates that the home finance market will surpass AED8bn ($2.17bn) this year.

Dubai’s real estate market revival, which recently saw queues of buyers lining up at the launch of high profile new off-plan developments, is being driven by ‘refugee capital’ from buyers in countries such as Iran, Pakistan and Egypt, according to a new report.
The emirate, which was one of the worst hit real estate markets during the downturn, recently witnessed queues of buyers snapping up new projects by some of Dubai’s best known master developers.
Investment firm Citigroup’s latest ‘MENA Construction Projects Tracker’ report described this upsurge in demand as “something of a mini-revival”.
“We believe this has been driven by ‘refugee capital’ from buyers facing geo-political risk and currency depreciation in their domestic markets, e.g. India, Iran, Pakistan and Egypt,” the report said.
The Citigroup report was also cautious of the fact that while the number of projects awarded in the first nine months of 2012 was up 83 percent year-on-year. It claimed this increase was driven by a few Abu Dhabi mega project awards, such as US$6bn worth of petrochemical projects, a US$3bn nuclear power project and a US$2bn infrastructure project.
In terms of cancelled and delayed projects in the region, this rose 2 percent to around US$1.5trn, with the UAE accounting for US$757bn, or over 50 percent of all projects still canned or in limbo.

un poco contradictorio no?
Si, no se en que se basan, pero yo tengo alertas de websites con los nuevos que entran en el mercado y estan subiendo, 100% asegurado, los precios de hace 4 o 5 meses ya no estan, los precios han subido y yo diria que bastante, se volveran a justar un poco cuando entren en masa construcciones enormes como las Gate Towers, que seran miles de pisos de golpe en la misma zona, pero poco a poco los precios suben, eso objetivamente segun las alertas que me llegan a diario de precios en Al Reem de 1 y 2 habitaciones, antes por 900 AED/sqft habia mucho, ahora lo normal son 1000 AED/sqft, eso para la gama mas baja de Al Reem, incluso de vez en cuando se veia algo por 800-850 ahora imposible.
