Dubai Real Estate: Phase 2 of The Orchard Palace Launched

Dubai's real estate market continues to thrive, with the launch of Phase 2 of The Orchard Palace in Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC) by Peak Summit Development. The anticipated handover date for this project is Q4 2026.

India's residential real estate sector has seen a slight downturn, with a 11% drop in housing sales in Q3 2024. This comes after a 2-year bull run in the market. Meanwhile, Abu Dhabi's real estate market has witnessed major increases in both sales and rent prices since last year, with some neighborhoods seeing a 30% rise.

Experts are analyzing the risk of a housing bubble in Dubai's real estate sector, as the market experiences price rises, massive demand, and supply increases. Global real estate heavyweights are also eyeing expansion into the UAE and GCC region, anticipating the next round of market boom, driven by the start of a new interest rate cut cycle and falling mortgage rates.
