“The market overall is undeniably strong, and on a global scale, Dubai real estate remains one of the best real estate markets to invest in, whether as an end user or investor,” said Firas Al Msaddi, CEO of fäm Properties.
“But it doesn’t mean every developer will win just because the market is healthy. Nor does it mean investors can make impulsive or uninformed decisions and expect success. The only consistent way to win is by making well-informed, data-backed decisions, whether you’re an individual investor or an institution.
“Fortunately, the Dubai Land Department has made this easier than ever. It has built one of the most transparent real estate ecosystems in the world, where every sale and lease transaction is publicly available.
“Today, DXBinteract provides full access to this data – empowering anyone to analyze, compare, and validate opportunities with facts, not assumptions. In short, this market will massively reward those who do their homework, and punish those who don’t.”
