My personal predictions for Dubai property prices and rents « Peterjcooper’s Weblog

Yield compression and a shortage of supply will drive prices higher again this autumn. Rental yields of 6-8 per cent need to fall to 2-3 per cent before investors should start to worry. Current returns look attractive and the supply of villas is very limited giving downside protection. At least 3-4 years before house prices begin to fall; appreciation of 10-15 per cent per annum until then.
