The end of a nine-day Eid holiday coincides this year with the final few days of the annual summer escape as schools return for a new academic year starting next week, we have a fresh influx of expats, and the long-term residents and UAE nationals and their families are all flying back from their summer spent in cooler climes.

The hope is that we can get now get back to "business as usual".

It has been an extraordinary summer for the property market, the like of which I have not seen in my 15 years of living and working in Dubai. There have been some amazing payment plans on offer combined with incentives on the DLD fees and the service charges as the developers have been competing heavily for your custom over Ramadan and the summer.

• Emaar has been the first to announce a post-summer launch, it will happen sometime in September, and it’s expected to be oversubscribed due to its location on the new Emaar Beachfront man-made island in Dubai Harbour. The first two buildings on the Island sold fast, so we are expecting massive interest from all those who missed out on the Sunrise Bay and Beach Vistareleases earlier this year. The apartments in Beach Vista were well priced with one bed at AED 1.3m to AED 1.6m, two beds at AED 1.9m to AED 2.3m and three beds at circa AED 4.3m. all on a 50/50 payment plan. Email me for updates on this new launch

A quick call around this morning to the developers and they have all confirmed that their offers will end on the 31st August 2018.
