THIS WEEK IN DUBAI · 9 NOVEMBER 2026
What is happening in the market?
Notes compiled from this week's developer sales announcements. Updated every week.
Same apartment, two prices: a 4% to 43% gap
In one project the gap between cash and instalment price is 4%, in another 29%, in another 43%. A large gap can mean the list price is inflated.
Ask for both prices on every project.
Discounts of 30% to 40% announced
Several developers announced large discounts this week, especially on projects close to handover and on cancelled units.
Judge a discount against real transaction prices in the area, not the list price.
60% due on handover day
Some new plans start with 5% down, while 60% of the price is due at handover in 2029 and 2030.
Plan today whether you will pay it in cash or with a mortgage.
Instalments over 94 months and 10 years
In JVC there are plans starting with 5% down and running for 94 months, and plans that spread 90% of the price over 10 years after handover.
Calculate the total cost and the rental income after handover.
The "guaranteed 10% return" promise
Two projects announced a three-year guaranteed return in one week. That return is often built into the sale price.
Check whose name the guarantee is written under in the contract.
Payment account changes
This week one developer announced new bank accounts and another a new contact channel. This is also the most common method fraudsters use.
Verify any account change through official channels, never from a WhatsApp message.

INVESTMENT GUIDE
ALL ARTICLES
Read before you decide
Can a non-resident get a mortgage in Dubai?
Banks usually lend non-residents 50% to 60% of the property value. The exact rate depends on the bank and your proof of income.
5 things to check before you sign
DLD registration, escrow account, the developer's track record, the payment plan and delay clauses. You can check all of them yourself.
Same apartment, two prices: cash or instalments?
Cash buyers can get serious discounts. Ask for both prices on every project and compare the gap as a percentage.
