“The rise in real estate transactions values, especially land, reflects the state of strong momentum within the Dubai real estate market, the recovery of sales thanks to the demand of foreigners and the improvement of the supporting economic factors,” said CEO Walid Al Zarooni.
“Dubai has witnessed a large influx of wealthy foreigners aspiring to settle down and invest in commercial activities in the emirate, especially the thriving real estate sector, which is achieving record profits and ease of buying and selling, with the market maturing and reaching the best international standards,” he added.
Walid Al Zarooni stressed that the recovery in land sales reflects developers’ efforts to acquire the best plots of land in preparation for launching real estate and commercial projects to keep pace with the renewed demand within the market.
He explained that W Capital’s follow up of land sales identified several reasons behind the sale deals in Dubai, most of which focus on investors’ desire to buy land for investment purposes and get high returns as prices continue to rise , or developers’ desire to launch new projects in the best areas. There is also the small clients who want to build their own homes and supervise all stages of construction.
