Week 1 - October 2015
Al-MazayaReport statessaleandmortgage
transactions have resumed as usual,
signaling more investment preference,
with finance processes equally continued,
affected by the increasing number and
value of mortgages amounting to about
AED 65 billion till end of this mid-term.
Sales followedamountingtoAED53billion,
led by the sale of commercial constructed
lands, while building sales amounted to
AED 20 billion during the same first mid-
term. The increase of the rhythm of these
activities is justified by the improvement in

of transactions, stability of prices and
availability of required liquidity in market,
enabling investors to easily conclude their
transactions without losses. The real-
estate market in Dubai experienced some
decline in the value of transactions during
Q2 this year, especially in land, villa and
residential units justified by seasonality.
Real-estate finance terms, and the delay
in taking investment decisions while
waiting for a decrease in market prices,
hoping to achieve better investments,
are additional reasons for this decline.
