There are two types of investors. Short-term, and Long-term. Short-term investors primarily aim to gain from market movement, whereas long-term investors look at the fundamentals and the robustness of the opportunity and its potential for returns over an extended period.

For the short-term investor, timing and current market conditions are of huge significance. They want to get into the market during a bull run, and get out when the market has matured.

In contrast, long-term investors don’t pay attention to the market cycles, and look at what the investment can return on-going, and where they expect to see this in 5,10 or more years and the potential capital gain.

Its therefore only natural for some investors to ask if this is indeed the right time to invest in Dubai real estate market?
