Q2 2018

Dubai Market Report

Transacted prices for villas/townhouses have settled above the 2017 average during Q2 2018, mainly due to the limited lower priced inventory entering the market this year compared to the launches in the first half of 2017. Meanwhile, trading prices for apartments continue to shift towards the lower end of the price band, averaging AED 1.3 million in Q2 2018. The announcement by the UAE government on new 10 year visa regulations for certain categories of residents, as well as the 100% foreign ownership in companies, could have a positive impact on housing demand from expatriates. However, the details of the new visa options is expected in the last quarter of this year and the direct impact on real estate would only become clear at that time. For the moment, some buyers continue to wait on the sidelines as further price declines are expected in the majority of the communities during the second half of 2018.

Q2 2018

Dubai Market Report

In Q2 2018 sales prices across the residential market registered quarterly declines of 1.1% for villas/townhouses and apartments. Buyers continue to be spoilt for choice in the off-plan market thus forcing developers to offer special incentives such as aggressive payment plans, fee waivers etc. to differentiate their projects. Meanwhile, secondary market activity remains concentrated in buildings/communities where investors are expecting relatively stable yields and end-users are replacing rental outflows with mortgage payments.

RENT

PERFORMANCE

Rent declines for residential properties in Dubai averaged 5% over the last 12 months and 2.5% on average quarter on quarter.

Declines were more pronounced in International City (Clusters), The Greens in Emirates Living, Discovery Gardens and Al Furjan averaging 12 month changes of more than 6%. Rent decline are expected to continue during the second half of 2018, with new handovers planned in both freehold and leasehold communities across Dubai. Landlords on the other hand are offering various incentives such as flexible payment terms, rent free period and in certain cases are reducing lease rates for the existing tenants in order to keep the units occupied amidst low demand. Operating expenses have continued to rise and net realised yields have compressed in the majority of the locations across Dubai during the last twelve months. Thus, investors need to factor in the building quality, occupancy levels and the expected supply within the community to ensure a relatively stable rental income.

VILLAS/TOWNHOUSES

The majority of the handovers during the Q2 of 2018 were in Jumeirah Village Circle, Damac Hills, Dubai Silicon Oasis and Al Nahda with more than 300 units being handed over in each location. More than 88% of the handed over units were apartments. For the remainder of the year, the majority of the upcoming supply is concentrated in Al Furjan, Business Bay, Jumeirah Village Circle and Town Square.

Approximately 52% of the upcoming supply expected to be handed over during Q3.

Increasing handovers will continue to impact rents in most locations across Dubai as tenants have more choice. This will also impact occupancies in existing stock and should be factored into net yield estimations for the forthcoming period.

Overall occupancy rates increased by 0.5% in Dubai during 2017, which was predominantly due to expected supply not entering the market and an increase in recorded guest numbers. However, as at Q2 2018, increases in supply of 4% have outpaced demand increases of only 1.7%, resulting in a 3.9% decrease in average occupancy levels. Dubai Average Daily Rate figures for the period of January to May 2018 are showing a 4.0% fall versus the same period in 2017. Although the rate of decline is slowing, it is expected that declines will continue as additional supply enters the market.

SEGMENT FOCUS - LUXURY OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE Operational performance in the luxury segment has remained resilient despite heavy pressure on all department revenue streams.

Cavendish Maxwell have analysed trading performance of a group of luxury positioned properties, of which, over 30% consider themselves a resort. Resort properties typically have very different cost structures to that of a city hotel tower positioned in the luxury sector. As the value of a hotel asset is intrinsically linked to the profitability, it is important to understand how certain properties are performing in order to provide accurate forecasts.

Departmental profits, which include revenue streams linked to rooms, F&B, spas and all other operating departments, saw falls of 3.2% per occupied room (POR).

The result of reduced revenues was partially offset by the reduction in costs, however the average Gross Operating Profit (GOP) of the selected group of hotels was down 5.3% standing at just under 40%.

The below graph shows the forecast for hotel room supply. The total forecast supply includes all projects that have progressed to the planning phase. This represents an inventory increase of 64.3% or 69,000 rooms. However, approximately 58% of the total forecast supply is currently under construction and is expected to be completed by December 2020. This represents an inventory increase of 41.2% or 40,000 rooms.

Occupancies to soften, placing heavier pressure on ADR’s To achieve the 20 million visitor target set for 2020, Dubai needs to increase the guest numbers by 7%, 8% and 10% during 2018, 2019 and 2020 respectively.

DTCM data shows the current average length of stay in Dubai is 3.5 days and a double occupancy factor of 1.9. Double occupancy factor refers to the average number of guests per occupied room.

Demand in the form of visitors and overnight guests staying in Dubai hotels totalled 15.79 million in 2017. Dubai continues to diversify and push to increase tourism numbers through a number of government initiatives to promote growth. Dubai has seen positive results, recording a 41% increase in Chinese tourism and 15% increase in Indian visitors. Russian guest numbers continue to increase and are now the fourth highest source market in Dubai, with numbers expected to continue rising. Q2 2018 continued to see growth in tourism numbers, with an increase of 1.7% compared to Q1.

Keeping the above factors constant, assuming Dubai acheives the targeted 20 million visitors and applying the supply forecasts, Dubai can expect the following average occupancies in 2020.

Property Monitor provides real-time, market-wide transactional data and trends. Working with governments, agencies, banks, developers and corporate investors, it provides deeper insight into real estate advisory, investment, and lending activities.

The average sales price per sq ft is based on the Property Monitor Index which incorporates signed contracts, registered transactions, valuations and listings verified by Cavendish Maxwell’s market leading valuation department.

Property Monitor Residential Survey is a quarterly study of agent opinion designed to identify residential market sentiment. This research highlights how new enquiries, leasing activity and transactions, among other metrics, changed from quarter to quarter with agent predictions compared to actual real market performance.

Supply projections for residential projects are based on the Property Monitor Supply Tracker which tracks supply in real time, regular tracking of construction projects, new launches and delays. This is achieved through site inspections as well as regular feedback from developers, contractors, Cavendish Maxwell’s building consultancy team and related government entities.
