It’s the latest in a series of reports documenting the correction in Dubai residential property. Property consultants JLL now predicts prices will fall around 15% this year. Still, many developers remain upbeat. Rahail Aslam, CEO of Select Group, told ARN News Centre the correction is healthy, and will be short lived.
