Discovery garden and international city are the latest examples of it. 6 Months Ago prices were higher than sports city and Jumeirah village south, but now both have over taken mraginally. You can get 1 Bed of 1000 Sq ft for around 1.1 Mil in DG ready to occupy, in SC you can get it on pre launch which means it gonna go well beyond that . 6 months ago DG was at 810 PSF and SC at 675 to 715 PSF for 1 Beds.now DG is at 1100 PSF and DSC / JVS also the same,So whose jump is higher ? ? ?

IC clusters ready are selling for lesser than CBD areas which are many of them still under constrcution....

JLT is selling for around 1400 PSF and DSC JVS IMPZ DSO trying to catch it up , though JLT is just nearing completion, an expert can tell that price rise was not as significant in JLT as it was in DSO DSC COA or IMPZ.


This is based on my personal investigation and I dont claim to be an expert in this field. . . .

I would agree on some of the things you pointed out but it's not a general rule. What I mean to say is that it depends on the development. IC is complete (most of it) and handed over. The reason for IC not apprecaiting so much is the location.
DG on the other hand is a different story as it's unfolding. I don't think that many units are available for sale in DG.
A lot of prices are artificial, made up by buying and selling of investors. If you can't buy and sell easily as is the case with DG right now. It wont be something that investors would look for. But once they are handed over and registered i think might be a different story all together.

If any one is interested in buying a 1 bedroom please get in contact. I have 1 for sale this is a private sale so you will save on the commission charges. The development is in discovery garden/ Med gardens. The building owned by Damac so no issues with Nakheel.

For some reason you cannot Personal message on tis forum. You can on skyscraper city where I have an account. I dont wish to post my ocntact details here.


Thanks, nomad

Discovery gardens – overprized

Who ever buys at the current prices will suffer for unpredictable period of time?
AT the moment the real estates are advertising the above development and once they get rid of the flats they will move somewhere else.
Than the prices will not move for some time and the current buyers will feel the cost.
1500 per sqft is too much and the rent is unknown.
Most probably will be 100 dhs per sqft per year.
On top of that the above project is built under the national power grid and the quality is not great.
Nakheel as usual will hike the service charges up to the limit and the return from rent will not be more than 5-6% per year.
As I said before the oversupply is starting in Dubai and all the overprized projects will suffer in the near future.

Areyou actually making sense here?

AT the moment the real estates are advertising the above development and once they get rid of the flats they will move somewhere else.
Isn't that what every estage agent does everywhere in the world? If there are flats for sale they will sell them?

On top of that the above project is built under the national power grid and the quality is not great.
Have you actually been to DG? The electricty pylons are on the road side. Quality is meant to be very good.

As I said before the oversupply is starting in Dubai and all the overprized projects will suffer in the near future.
How do you know this? You should research the % of studio and 1 bedrooms (if any) in the surrounding areas that are currently occupied by families. Then find out how many families are renting or require decent 1bedrooms or studios.
Dubai has a great future and the infrastructure is being laid down. If there is a oversupply now, which I dont think there is, it will correct itself in the next couple of years. DG is a great development in an excellent location, with a real feel of community and alot of greenery. I dont see this in any of developments within this price range.

1500 per sqft is too much and the rent is unknown.
Where have you taken this figure from? I wouldn't take the estate agents advertised sales prices. They are sometimes over priced.. testing the market.

I would be interested to hear where you have invested in Dubai.

I agree with 100% completely. I think georgihh is underestimating discovery gardens for some reason and the property market in Dubai as a whole; or he just likes to get a reaction

Yes I have been and the power grids are just next to half of the buildings.
Don’t full the people please they are innocent investors and should know what they are buying.

Don’t make me laugh. One bedroom JBR, Dubai Marina with facilities is 100000 DHS per year and you are trying to get the same price without facilities far way from the beach under the power grid.
You must be joking.

1500 per sqft is too much and the rent is unknown
Where have you taken this figure from? I wouldn't take the estate agents advertised sales prices. They are sometimes over priced. Testing the market.
One bedroom 1.2 million - real size 820 sqft .
Ok not exactly 1500DHS but very close.

I have invested IC, SO, DM(sold), DG (sold).
DG bought a studio for 380k last year sold it recently for 520k
Net profit 120k or 30% (for one year) not bad ,but from now on I don’t know.
