You must clearly understand that to buy an apartment in dubai for yourself is one thing, and acquiring real estate as a profitable investment object is quite another. Depending on the goals pursued, you need to choose the area, and the area of the property, and the age of the building itself, if we are talking about apartments, etc. For example, if you are buying housing for yourself, then be guided by the availability of infrastructure nearby and proximity to your place of work, because traffic jams in densely populated areas of Dubai are a common occurrence.
Here are 3 Things To Consider Before Buying apartments in Dubai
1. Buy on the secondary market or not?
In Dubai, you can buy a completely new home, or you can buy something that has already been in use. Another option is to buying apartments in Dubai directly from the developer. Usually, the contract in this case is concluded when the construction of the facility is at an early stage, so you have to wait until it is ready.
You can benefit from this, because, firstly, you can pay for housing in installments, and secondly, you are insured against a rise in real estate prices (and prices for it in Dubai are constantly increasing). But this way of buying has one drawback: the finished housing may be somewhat different from what you have planned for yourself, or the time frame for its construction may be delayed. Resale housing (especially when it comes to houses or apartments that are more than 10 years old) is usually cheaper than new.
