Many large investors in the world still look at the Dubai property market as the most profitable investment. Also, no negative impact is seen in property rentals and resale of properties. 

Most people felt that investment in Dubai’s property was a bubble waiting to burst. They were proved wrong, as Dubai is still considered to be the one of the most lucrative and the safest places for property investments. One of the main reasons for this is the ever growing property resale market. The property resale market is growing at a steady pace, and refuses to show any signs of negative growth. People investing in Dubai’s property market are brimming with confidence as they are confident of getting high returns on investments made on property. People estimate that prices of properties under construction will increase by at least 25 percent, and those completed will increase by at least 50 percent.

Dubai no longer has larger oil recourses, but let’s not forget that it made huge money when it produced oil. The enormous amount earned by exporting oil is finding its way into the property market of Dubai. Property construction is developing so rapidly that it is hard to find a block where no construction is taking place.

One of the most talked about and happening projects is the one coming up at the Island of Ireland. If you looking to invest in penthouse suites, beach-facing homes and villas, then the Island of Ireland is the place to invest. Apart from Villas, Suites and Penthouses, you will also find restaurants, spas, cafes, boutiques and all other facilities that you can dream of. The total project area of Island of Ireland is over 225 000 square feet.

The Island of Ireland is not the only place you can invest in. Palm, which is situated at Jumeriah, is another investment hot spot. The project is in the shape of a huge date palm and is man-made. To build this giant date palm more than hundred million cubic feet of sand has been used. Palm is being constructed in the area between the gulf and the mainland. Once the project is completed it will address the problem of the shortage of beaches in Dubai. A monorail has been set up to take people to the Palm. Famous personalities like Michael Owens, Joe Cole and David Beckham have bought properties here.

Property prices in Dubai have gone up more than 10 times in last six years. There is an unprecedented rise in demand for ready-to-occupy properties, which has resulted in a shortage of these properties. This has resulted in the demands of many investors remaining unfulfilled. With people predicting that property prices will increase further, there are no signs of a slowdown in the Dubai property market. So if you are looking for investments with assured returns then Dubai property market is the right place to invest.
