💡 What Determines a Property’s Price?

1. Scarcity Creates Value

The rarer the asset, the higher the demand — simple economics.

• Limited land supply in prime locations drives prices up.
• Areas like Downtown Dubai, waterfront properties, or iconic landmarks (e.g., Burj Khalifa) are limited by design — and that exclusivity translates into long-term appreciation.
• Always ask: “Can this be easily replicated?” If not, you may be looking at a high-value opportunity.

2. Connectivity & Accessibility

Proximity to public infrastructure plays a huge role in livability and resale value.

• Metro stations, bus stops, rail links, and major highways add convenience — a major selling point.
• In Dubai and globally, properties within walking distance of a metro or key transit hub command higher prices and rent yields.

3. Property Type & Unique Features

Not all units in a building are equal — and the ones with standout features typically command a premium.

• Penthouses offer privacy, views, and exclusivity.
• Ground-floor units with garden access attract families and pet owners.
• Top-floor apartments with private terraces offer outdoor space and skyline views — both rare in urban living.

Look for features that can’t be easily duplicated within the same project. These nuances often drive price differences of 10–30% or more.

🔍 How to Identify an Investment Opportunity (in sequence):

1. Location First – Is it in a prime, developing, or future growth zone?
2. Demand Drivers – What makes people want to live or rent there? (Jobs, schools, malls, transport)
3. Supply Constraints – Is there limited land, strict zoning, or landmark value?
4. Unique Property Traits – Does the unit have a wow factor (view, layout, floor)?
5. Future Potential – What’s planned in the next 5–10 years nearby? (Infrastructure, projects)

🧠 Pro Tip:

Scarcity sells.
Whether it’s a location, view, layout, or access — if it’s rare, it will always hold (or grow) its value better than the rest.
