Dubai property sales plummet 42.6%



Country:  Dubai, United Arab Emirates

9 July 2009

Data from REIDIN.com, a research company that monitors Dubai property transactions using data from the Dubai Land Department, shows that just 1,724 properties in Dubai were sold in H1 2009, down 42.6% over the corresponding period last year.

The results for the first half of this year come as house builders in Dubai get ready to release their earnings reports for Q2 of this year.

Dubai property developers are preparing themselves for another tough quarter in Q3, with sales levels expected to remain sluggish.

Commentating on the data, Chet Riley, an analyst at Nomura Securities, told the press: “We are seeing some signs of stability in the underlying market, but crunch comes in the second half of the year, when a number of developments are due. Any development delays, which we are starting to see, will not allow developers to recognise sales revenues and may lead to further analyst earnings downgrades.”

The fact that property prices have fallen by up to 50% across some parts of the emirate has contributed towards the fall in transactions.
