Signs of revival for Dubai property

Dubai property prices have risen for the first time since the market crashed last year , up 7 per cent in the third quarter as demand revived and lending conditions eased, consultancy Colliers International said.
The figures reflect a growing sense of optimism in Dubai, which was badly hit by the credit crunch as its vast debts combined with the puncturing of the real estate bubble a year ago.
However, Colliers warned that an upcoming surge in completed properties would drag down average prices next year, although not across the board.

“Well-planned mature developments in good locations, supported by facilities and community infrastructure, will receive relatively higher demand,” said Mr Albert.
