“For rent” banners belong to the facades

The banners of “rent” returned to appear on the facades of the buildings in some areas of Dubai in the recent period, after a period that witnessed what we could call stability in the movement of the rented transfers, at a time when tenants assured “Emirates Today” that they moved from their current areas where they reside in central Dubai and some vital areas, to its outskirts, or that they are studying the transition due to the recent rise in rents.

They made it clear that they chose relative areas on the outskirts of the city in search of a balance between rental values and living.

They emphasized that their view of the areas they moved had changed, after they found the availability of services and infrastructure at the level of approximately the areas where they were residing, in addition to the presence of schools, health facilities and markets, and a large public transport network to all parts of Dubai.

For their part, real estate confirmed that the rental prices in the Dubai real estate market are governed by supply and demand, expecting that the market will witness a kind of balance, after a wave of heights in the rents occurred as a result of supply and demand.

They attributed the movement of some of the tenants from major areas to other areas on the outskirts of the city, to the lack of supply in the main areas compared to the large demand, in addition to converting most housing units in areas to “holidays” to keep pace with the high demand from tourists, pointing out that the prices of the rent market for residential or commercial real estate increased by varying proportions, and exceeded 15% in the main areas, and more than 5% in other regions.

They pointed to the registration of areas such as “Dubai South”, “Abu Wahil”, the Village of Jumeirah, “GVC”, “Dubai Silicon Oasis”, and “The International City”, an increase in the supply, which is met by a kind of competitiveness that in turn creates a calmness in the prices in it.

They explained that it is not possible to assert a “price correction” at the present time due to the high demand for real estate, and if it happens, it will not affect the main areas, such as “Down Town” and “Palm Jumeirah”, due to the lack of supply and high demand for it.

They demanded the developers to expand residential projects on the outskirts of the city at reasonable prices, to reduce congestion within the central areas, stressing that the demand is still higher than the offer, which limits any possible decrease in rental prices.

Rental opinions

In detail, the tenant Hashem Sadiq said that he was residing in a high -service high -level area, but he finally moved to the “International City” area, after the rent in the area where he was residing previously became not commensurate with his income.

He added to «Emirates Today»: “Despite the change in the housing pattern and the location, the new region provides all the basics at reasonable prices, but the most important current is stability in a place that does not exhaust my budget every year.”

In turn, the tenant, Amr Al -Najjar, confirmed that the expansion of the Dubai Metro network and the public transport encouraged him and a large number of his friends to move to residential areas that were previously considered “far”, but today it has become effectively linked to work areas and services, which gave them greater freedom in choosing low rental areas without sacrificing easily to move.

He added: “The transformations taking place in the real estate market led us to think of a more realistic logic. We no longer search for luxury, but rather a comfortable housing within the limits of our financial capabilities, and this is provided by areas such as (Dubai South) and (International City), and other areas on the outskirts of Dubai.

In the same context, the tenant (A.C.) said that he decided to move from the apartment in which he resides in the “Al Barsha” area, despite being vital and close to services such as the shopping center and metro line, pointing out that the decision to move to the outskirts of the city, in search of a suitable rent, comes after the real estate management company’s decision to raise the rental value when renewing the contract after three months. He explained that he searched for appropriate rents in relatively close areas such as “Arjan”, “Al Barsha Heights” and “Discovery Gardens”, without success, and therefore he is studying the discovery of further areas such as “Dubai South” that is suitable for its budget.

For his part, the tenant, Mr. Abdul Hadi, said that he decided to move from the “Marina Dubai” area to “Dubai Silicon Oasis”, as a result of the high rents.

An upcoming balance

In addition, Sherif Suleiman, Sherif Suleiman, said that “rental prices in the Dubai real estate market are governed by supply and demand as all other sectors, and the real estate sector is not an exception from this rule.”

He continued: “Although a good amount of supply entered the market during the past two years, especially in the apartment segment, the balance between supply and demand was very necessary.” He revealed that the major share of real estate searches in Dubai is focused on studios, and two -bedroom apartments and two rooms.

Suleiman pointed out that the last period also witnessed sustainable development plans in the categories of villas and “Town House”, which are the groups that have always suffered from a chronic shortage, given the strong demand, which pushes towards enhancing the balance between supply and demand in general.

Al -Hammadi attributed the movement of tenants from major regions to other regions, to the lack of supply in the main areas compared to the large demand on them by the wealthy people flocking to Dubai, in addition to converting most housing units in those areas into “holidays” to keep pace with the high demand from tourists coming to Dubai.

He continued: «On the other hand, other regions such as (Dubai South), (Abu Wahil), the Jumeirah Village (GVC), (Al -Barsha Hitz -Tikom), (Dubai Silicon Oasis), and (Global City), is registered, an increase in supply, is met by a kind of competitiveness that in turn creates calmness in prices, where the rent market witnesses a wide variety of prices, which provides multiple options for the groups The medium income, in addition to being integrated residential areas for families, to meet most of their needs of schools, community gardens, and service centers.

In response to a question about the possibility of a nearby price correction, Al -Hammadi said: “It is not possible to assert (my price correction) at the present time due to the high demand for real estate.”

He said: “If a price correction occurred, it will not affect the main areas, such as (Down Town) and (Palm Jumeirah), due to the lack of supply and high demand for it.

For his part, the CEO of “Standard Real Estate Management Company”, Abdul Karim Al -Mulla said: “There is an increasing demand for the appropriate housing units for families and intermediate income categories in various regions of Dubai,” noting that there is a clear pattern in the market that reflects this trend.
