Dubai real estate market has already made a mark in the luxury segment and now the trend seems to have shifted towards more Affordable projects, properties that fall under the value of a million Dirhams. The affordable segment has seen immense growth in the last one year and offers a plenty of options for the budget conscious buyer and investors who prefer having multiple smaller units in their portfolio instead of larger, high priced ones. Areas like Jumeirah Village Circle, Arjan, Dubai Sports City and Dubailand offer affordable housing options ranging from a studio to 2 bedroom apartments within a million in a mix of ready and off plan options. These projects are mainly targeted at the mid income earners as local demand can be built when this segment of buyers enter and stays in the market. Developers have recognized the opportunity in affordable projects targeted at a mass audience and have been innovating payment plans to widen the pool of potential buyers. Big developers that specialize in luxury developments are also adding projects that fall under a million in prime established and upcoming areas of Dubai with all amenities and infrastructure. A low priced property combined with a long term payment plan with smaller installments is getting stellar response for some developers and these projects are where their concentration has moved to.
