Hi everyone,
[Parking]I’m traveling starting tomorrow and urgently looking for a safe parking spot for my car for around 2 months in Dubai.

Preferably:
- Covered parking
- Secure building/villa parking
- Reasonable monthly price

Location: Greens / Views, Dubai
Budget: Around AED 200-400/month depending on parking type.

I’m located around Greens/Views area but open to nearby locations as well.
Please let me know if you have availability or recommendations. Thanks!

June is about to start and we’re slowly seeing transactions which happened after the recent regional war tensions.

What’s everyone’s view on the Dubai property market over the next 2-3 months?

If you find a property you genuinely like and the seller is giving around a 10% discount already, would you buy now? Or would you wait till August/September expecting the market to soften further and discounts to reach 15-20%?

At the same time, buyers still seem cautious because the overall situation feels uncertain, so confidence hasn’t fully returned yet.

What’s interesting is sellers still behave like it’s a seller’s market. Many are refusing to negotiate much, yet properties also aren’t moving at the same speed as before.

Do you think sellers will continue holding prices for the next few months? Or do you expect reality to hit and prices to correct further?

Curious to hear views from brokers, investors, and genuine buyers currently active in the market.

Trying to understand the real pricing for a 2-bedroom in The Greens, Greens & Views.

I’m seeing a big disconnect:

• Some sellers still asking 2M+
• But also hearing deals closer to 1.8M (or below)

On the rent side, things don’t look very strong:

• Listings show ~140K–155K, but actual transactions are happening ~120K–135K
• Some Properties are even vacant since Feb as the tenants do not want pay that much at this time. hope this improves.
• Even owners are dropping rents (e.g. 165K → 140K) just to get tenants

So it feels like:

• Rents have already softened
• But sale prices haven’t fully adjusted yet
• Which is compressing yields quite a bit

As of now 5th May - I want to understand

1. What’s a fair buy price today based on actual achievable rent (not listings)?
2. Are deals really closing near 1.8M, or can they go lower below 1.7M in coming months?
3. With rents looking soft and supply increasing, does it make more sense to wait till summer - could we see ~1.7M levels, or is that unlikely for Greens?

Feels like the market is in that phase where rents have adjusted but sale prices are still catching up.

Hey everyone,

I’m going to be away from Dubai for around 2 months and need to figure out how to store some household items during that time.

I have a few bottles of cooking oil and some sealed/unused alcohol bottles. I don’t want to throw them away since they’re unopened and can still be used when I’m back.

What I’m looking for is a safe way to store them so they don’t get spoiled due to heat (especially cooking oil), or cause any issues while I’m away.
I checked with storage services, but they’re saying these are flammable and not allowed.

So just trying to understand the right way to handle this.

Questions:

• What’s the safest way to store cooking oil for a few months in Dubai heat?
• Should it be kept in the fridge, or is a closed cupboard fine?
• For unopened alcohol bottles - is it okay to leave them stored at home?
• Any better alternatives people use in this situation?

Would really appreciate any advice from people who’ve dealt with this before. Thanks!
