Developers and their off-plan ambitions will ensure that prices remain grounded.\n<p>&ldquo;There has been no appreciation in off-plan launch prices,&rdquo; said Firas Al Msaddi, CEO of f&auml;m Properties. &ldquo;And developers are still supplying the same range of products in new phases and with fresh payment plans and more attractive offers, including Dubai Land Department (fee) waivers or post-handover payment plans.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>All of which makes it doubly difficult for individuals to try and sell off their properties in the secondary market and at a premium to what they bought. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s almost impossible to resell because they can&rsquo;t compete with the developer,&rdquo; said Al Msaddi.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;If you bought in January and has paid 30-40 per cent and if I come to buy from you, I have to cough up the 40 per cent and a premium &hellip; which doesn&rsquo;t exist today. But if I go to any developer, I can buy in the same project and get a fresh payment plan plus be part of any sales promotions.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, there has been no price appreciation in the off-plan space through this year and that effectively means nothing much can happen on secondary market values as well. All of which makes it easier for anyone wanting to buy now.<\/p>\n<p>Source: Gulf News<\/p>\n<h2>Dubai Real Estate Institute organizes Innovation in Real Estate Best Practices Event<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6409\" src=\"https:\/\/iqiglobal-web-revamp.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/wp\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IQI-Dubai-Weekly-Recap-23rd-29th-Dec-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"508\" height=\"374\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iqiglobal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IQI-Dubai-Weekly-Recap-23rd-29th-Dec-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/iqiglobal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IQI-Dubai-Weekly-Recap-23rd-29th-Dec-1-300x221.jpg 300w, https:\/\/iqiglobal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IQI-Dubai-Weekly-Recap-23rd-29th-Dec-1-768x565.jpg 768w, https:\/\/iqiglobal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IQI-Dubai-Weekly-Recap-23rd-29th-Dec-1-370x272.jpg 370w, https:\/\/iqiglobal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IQI-Dubai-Weekly-Recap-23rd-29th-Dec-1-642x473.jpg 642w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 508px\" \/><\/h2>\n<p><\/p><center><\/center>Dubai Real Estate Institute (DREI), the educational arm of Dubai Land Deperetamnet (DLD), has organized the &lsquo;Innovation in Real Estate Best Practices Event&rsquo; to coincide with the announcement of the second edition of the Gulf Real Estate Awards, which will take place in 2018.
