The UAE real estate market is expected to grow in the next few weeks and months because of some changes happening in the US. US President Trump's new policies and high tariffs have caused the US dollar to lose value. As the US dollar falls, the value of the UAE dirham also drops. This has caused more people from Europe, Russia, and India to invest in the UAE real estate market. The UAE might even thank Trump for these changes.

Many rich investors from the UK are also expected to buy high-end properties in Dubai and other UAE cities. This is because the value of the UAE dirham is getting better, and the UK is changing its tax laws. The UAE dirham is linked to the US dollar, so when the dollar falls, the dirham’s value falls too.

The drop in the dollar is making people want to buy more properties in cities like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Ras Al Khaimah. This is because the value of the dollar is going down, and it is making the real estate in the UAE more affordable for people from other countries.

Chris Whitehead, a partner at Dubai Sotheby’s International Realty, says that whenever the value of a currency drops, demand for properties in the UAE rises. As the value of the dollar goes down, real estate in the UAE becomes more appealing to foreign investors.

Angad Bedi, the head of BCD Group, which is an international real estate company, explains that people from markets like the UK, Europe, India, and East Asia will want to buy properties in the UAE at better rates because of the weaker dirham.

Farooq Syed, CEO of Springfield Properties in Dubai, believes that the UAE’s strong economy, good infrastructure, and its safe position in the world will continue to attract investors looking for long-term growth.

Many experts think that because the stock markets are falling and taxes are rising, people will want to invest in more stable assets like real estate. This shift in investment will make the UAE real estate market more attractive.

A lower exchange rate for the UAE dirham makes Dubai more appealing to countries like India, Pakistan, Russia, the UK, and other European nations. These countries have good currency rates, which means investing in Dubai becomes cheaper and more affordable for them.

A senior official at Dubai Sotheby’s International Realty says that the devaluation of the US dollar makes Dubai even more attractive to international buyers. This news also comes at the same time as changes in the UK’s tax laws, which are affecting rich individuals. People who want relief from the tax laws in the UK may be more interested in investing in the UAE.

Whitehead also says that Europe will find it more appealing to invest in Dubai because real estate prices there are much lower than in other major cities around the world.

Sankey Prasad, the head of Colliers India & Middle East, says that currency changes often lead to more investments between countries. With the UAE’s visa reforms, its reputation as a safe city, and its tax-friendly rules, there will be even more foreign investment.

Prasad also says that investors should focus on the quality of the assets they buy for long-term returns. Real estate in the UAE is already seen as a safe place to invest, with great rental returns and a business-friendly environment. The currency changes could help those who are unsure about investing.

Bedi believes that the UAE market will see a sharp increase in interest, especially for prime residential and commercial properties, luxury homes, and hotel-linked investments.

Syed from Springfield Properties says that although the global economy is facing some issues, Dubai’s real estate market has proven to be strong even during hard times. He adds that even though prices for construction materials are rising, developers in Dubai are offering better payment plans to keep investors interested.

The CEO of Springfield Properties also says that Dubai benefits from its low tax structure. The GCC has a tax rate of about 10%, which is much lower than many other places in the world. Dubai has always been able to adapt to changes in the economy and continues to be a safe place for investors.

In conclusion, the UAE’s real estate market is in a good position to grow because of the changes in the global economy. With a weaker US dollar and a stronger investment environment, more foreign investors are likely to buy property in the UAE in the coming months. Investors are encouraged to look for high-quality assets to ensure good returns.
