Dubai’s property market boom lures residents to city’s outskirts
<p>A rally in Dubai’s residential property market that lifted prices for luxury developments in prime districts to record highs is starting to spread to the city’s periphery.</p>
<p>The metropolis, whose most popular neighborhoods run parallel to the shores of the Arabian Gulf, is now seeing rising demand for homes in districts stretching eastward into the desert. Transactions in some areas of secondary locations like Silicon Oasis and Sports City — that had remained more affordable — have hit record highs, according to real estate valuation and research firm ValuStrat.</p>
<p>“Affordability is the main driver as everything is becoming more expensive,” said Haider Tuaima, director, and head of real estate research at the Dubai-based firm.</p>
