As the year approaches its middle, experts can already give more or less definite assessments concerning the future of the premium real estate market in Dubai up to the end of the year. And Knight Frank did it first.
Commenting on the outlook of prime residential market, Taimur Khan, research manager at Knight Frank Middle East, said that prices are expected to keep going down in te rest of 2019, if the existing market conditions stay in force.

In this regard, areas such as Dubai Hills Estate and District One are expected to be in very high demand this year," said Hayes.
And also, according to the recently published Wealth Report, Dubai today is the most affordable luxury real estate market among the 10 largest cities in the world. One square meter of luxury real estate in the emirate today costs approximately $6,729 (AED24,695), which is the lowest rate compared with the other major global centers.
