Positive Impacts of United Arab Emirates Property Market 

There are various reasons for why the property sector in the United Arab Emirates has a quick rebound among all the major cities in the world. 

The first main reason is because of how the property sector focuses on safety and security for its buyers. Dubai’s new rule of payments for its real estate market has changed. Before paying for mortgages or rents, homeowners need to pay by cheque. However with the advancement of technology and COVID-19. Homeowners can now pay off finances for their property via direct payment. It is very easy, quick, and simple in the end. 

Secondly, the amended new Golden Visa allows homebuyers to become residents in any of the emirates easily. As a homeowner you have the privilege to become a successful overseas landlord in the UAE. You do not need to come back to the country every 6 months anymore to still hold your citizenship in UAE. The new Golden Visa rule also makes setting up business in the UAE very easy for foreign homeowners. 

Combining these two amazing economic reforms, the Dubai property market is expected to have high demand in both affordable housing and luxury housing in the coming months.
