Not even joking but rent prices lately have been making me question everything 😭

A few people I know renewed recently and the increase was honestly crazy. One friend was saying his yearly rent now feels close to what he’d probably pay if he decided to buy house in Dubai instead.

So now I’m noticing way more people checking listings for a house forsale in Dubai instead of automatically renewing leases like before.

I started looking around too just out of curiosity and yeah some house prices in Dubai are definitely expensive, but at the same time a few communities actually seem reasonable considering how high rents have become lately.

Feels like more people are shifting toward quieter house for sale in UAE communities too instead of staying in packed apartment areas forever.

Now I’m lowkey considering whether buying actually makes more sense long term 😭 also if anyone here has gone through the process recently, which consultants or property companies are actually good to deal with in Dubai? There are so many ads everywhere that it’s hard to tell who’s genuinely helpful and who’s just trying to sell anything 👀

I’ve been renting for a while now and prices just keep going up… starting to feel like I’m just paying someone else’s EMI at this point.

Lately I’ve been seriously looking into property in Dubai, but the more I check, the more confused I get. Every project looks good online, and every real estate company in Dubai claims theirs is the best.

Some friends are telling me to just go for it before prices go even higher, while others are saying the Dubai real estate market is unpredictable and not to rush.

Also not sure about all these payment plans and hidden costs… like is it actually as simple as it sounds or am I missing something?

For anyone who bought recently, how did you finally decide? And looking back, was it actually worth it?
