The real estate gold rush in the UAE is probably over and prices are set to go down this year as new properties flood the market, the country's largest property services firm Asteco said.

 

The correction will be largely confined to up-market residential properties as demand for commercial real estate and cheaper apartments grows strongly thanks to an economic boom and a burgeoning immigrant labour force.
