Real Estate In Dubai – Part 3

Dubai and Dubai PropertyHaving established itself as the trading capital of the area, Dubai has recently been branching out into tourism and is attracting a great deal of interest from the more technology based blue chip companies of the world. The city has so much to offer that it is difficult to know where to begin, with deserts surrounding the outskirts of the great city, to the mountains in the east, yet the central area is awash with the most up to date hospitals, schools and office buildings you could ever wish to see. This is an area where the ultra rich are only a stones throw from desperate poverty, where the most traditional of Islam cultures mix with the western world.Property in DubaiThis in turn caused a boom in the Dubai property market, which had already been buoyant for some time. The boom was further encouraged by some of the most state- of-the-art infrastructure and facilities spread across the mass that is Dubai. For many they are experiencing a standard of living unsurpassed anywhere else in the world, a place where money is free flowing and employment opportunities are many.In contrast to the surrounding states and countries, Dubai has one of the most stable of political and economic environments, in an area often blighted by conflict and controversy. This has encouraged more investors into the area, although the possibility of obtaining a valuable 10 – 15 year visa when purchasing a property is a further attraction. The great western tradition of mortgage finance has also entered the Dubai way of life, with 10 – 15 year mortgages now readily available.Dubai Investment PropertyThe tax laws in Dubai are in stark contrast to the major cities of the world, with no local, corporate of sales tax. This has encouraged some of the highest standard skilled workers to the area, which has attracted yet more foreign companies to set up. The growth in the tourism industry of Dubai has been phenomenal with the 3.4 million visitors in 2001 expected to rise to over 6 million in 2010 – from a standing start the area is becoming a magnet for overseas visitors.The Future for Dubai propertiesAs the economy continues to prosper, and the unique tax laws continue to attract the best of the skilled worker from around the world, the demand for property and further investment in the area is assured. Dubai is a fairly unique situation which while expanding aggressively, still manages to retain a property supply and demand ratio in favour of demand, thus ensuring a buoyant market for Dubai properties.

A growing economy, low interest rates and a stable government offer the perfect scenario for further economic growth. Dubai is a truly unique area of the World, which continues to prosper.
