Hello everyone, how's it going? My wife and I have decided to make the leap and buy our first home. Does anyone on here live in al waha? Is anyone in a position to offer us advice on the community, or costs? Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

you can't generalize like that "they've been useless"!! if you want to start generalizing, then there is a lot to be said about each and every nationality. So, with that in mind, some have been useless, just like a British collegue of mine and my friend's American boss! True, a lot of...

Ouch. I feel for them though. Imagine how many complaints they must be getting these days!! All I can say is you should keep pressuring them, calling them, etc. Maybe someone will notice you eventually!! Good luck

Who did you sign with? What does the contract say happens in case of payment default? Who is the bank? If you have documented proof that they will no longer send you the required funds, then take it up with RERA immediately. My advice to you: they are getting a lot of call from a lot of angry...

Where is this supposed price index?! :-) ps: the RERA website is a total disaster: half the links dont work, and those that do are pretty much empty.

Hello everyone, I know some people who are looking for distress sales in downtown Burj Dubai, especially in: 1- Burj Dubai 2- 29 Boulvevard 3- Boulevard Central So, if you know anyone who has anything in those, please let me know. Thanks, Doc

alright, here we go: how did i do it exactly? 1- i asked for a 5,000 dhs check as a sign of good faith (booking price) which would be post dated for a week so i cant just cash it. 2- we setup another meeting (this coming week) so we can both go to the notary and do the Power of attorney. 3-...

i did not use any brokers this time around. i just walked around the stands where i owned property, listened out for people who were interested and then intercepted them when they walked away. kinda felt like a drug dealer lol all in all, i think it went pretty well. by next week we'll see...

my legs are dead. please, no more walking! So, i'm about to go off to day 3. thoughts? it seems everyone is eyeing everyone. is he selling? is he buying? etc. some people have managed to sell. small developers, big developer, me! I had 2 properties for sale, and both went. so all in all, it...

hmm... Burj Dubai: great architecture... The "Monster": giant phallic looking thing? Granted, all sky scrapers do look phallic to a certain extent...but seriously?

Jebel Ali has always been a question mark. some people swear by it, while others prefer to watch what happens. Honestly, if you have the cash, i say go for it, and hold onto it for a (long) while! As for Asmaran, I am sorely tempted to find out what is happening, as it has been kind to me so...

There is no such thing as a correct price in this country lol i have a theory that Dubai will be one day become a city populated by the very rich and the poor. the middle class will be marginalized, just enough to keep things running. This will become a city where the world's richest can go to...

not quite the answer i was expecting :-) but thanks for the info! lol i guess it is kind of a general question. but i was just wondering if anyone has been to a launch recently? are any properties hot on the market? seems to me Badrah is still doing quite well.

Hello, So I just made it back to Dubai last night, and I am really glad to be back in the fun and heat. And what do you know? Seems to be a sandstrom on the rise! Anyway, I know summer in Dubai is kind of a dead season, but what has been happening? What is hot on the market these days...

Summer in Dubai has always been dead season. And yes, things will pick up a bit by end of this month. Things will definitely jump up in September (Ramadan does not play a big role on the secondary market, and most developers launch very little during that month). Big jump in October? You guys...

1 BR for 2.1? niiiice lol ask yourselves: how much will they go for once the project is completed? for those of you who went to this last launch, did you buy ur properties for an immediate flip? or are you planning on holding on to them for a while? and did anyone here pick up the 1 BR for 2.1?

honestly, i think it just because of the "Death of Dubai Summer!" lol ive lived here my whole life, and summer in Dubai has always been a dead zone. true, this is less and less valid, though i think it still applies. from what i understand, they only invited a few people yesterday. i wonder if...

Nice quote Roshan, "as they say"? or as Bob Marley says? but honestly, i dont know why everyone is being pissy about this. personally, having bought in the first Maysan launch, i am actually kind of happy about this: for the next several months, apartments will be leaking into the market...

hello everyone, tomorow's launch is NOT public i hear?? does anyone have more details about this? if any of you are going, you should find a way to get online and keep the rest of us commoners updated! i would very much like to find out more about tomorow.

When it comes to investing, there are 2 theories: - buy and sell asap - buy and hold, sell when u think the market is at its best. personally, i think a combo of the 2 is ideal: buy and sell to make urself a small capital, but hold onto those you think will have the greatest return in the long...
