Market Insights · Dubai and Abu Dhabi

What I am working on, written up.

My Dubai and Abu Dhabi property market analysis starts on my desk. It comes from the buildings, launches and questions my clients bring me. I build it from official data: what actually sold and what actually rented. Each piece shows its method.

Dubai property market analysis, by area and project

Most of what I publish here starts as work for a client. A seller needs a price, a buyer is comparing two projects, or a family is deciding how to hold property. When the answer helps other owners and buyers too, I write it up here. The questions come up again and again. Why has my listing not sold? How much cheaper should off-plan be? Should I own the property myself or through a company?

What you will find here

Most articles look at one area or one project in Dubai, with Abu Dhabi alongside. I cover prices, rents and new supply. I also track how long homes take to sell or rent. Other articles deal with ownership, such as inheritance, family offices and holding property through a company. Owners will find help on when to sell and how to price. Buyers will see where the value sits today and what is being built next door.
