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

What’s a fair buy price today based on actual achievable rent (not listings)?
Are deals really closing near 1.8M, or can they go lower below 1.7M in coming months?
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!
