Landlords in the UAE and elsewhere in the Gulf have their work cut out – nearly half of respondents in a new survey say they are likely to shift to a new property in the next 12 months. Cuts in salary will be prime factor in getting them to move. Lower rents will have a lot to do with their decision.

Before the pandemic, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, were witnessing a gradual improvement in demand. Developers will now need to reconnect with potential buyers. A few developers have been successful in doing the same with the launch of innovative payment plans and schemes such as rent-to-own.

The number of end-users and tenants moving from apartments to villas and townhouses is increasing and expected to continue. In post COVID-19 scenario, communities will start to become more of a place called ‘home’ rather than serving as a temporary transitional place where people often come and go.
