Its been a fairly hectic couple of weeks with no obvious seasonal slow down.
I have already had a few clients visiting from Europe since the schools broke for the long break and they have taken advantage of the creative offers which many of the developers are coming up with to attract buyers whilst the summer heat is on full blast.
Emaar and Nshama started it and now almost all the other developers have followed up with special offers for Ramadan making this June an even greater "buyers market" for off-plan property.
Emaar gave us an offer for one day only where they covered the 4% registration fee combined with a payment plan of 40% over two years post handover, they extended for a few more days but now they are back to normal though I suspect another offer day before Eid al-Fitr which is expected on or before the 24th June.
Traditionally this is the time of year when many ex-pats leave for their annual holidays as business tends to slow down during Ramadan due to the shorter working days.
However in the last two or three years it has become one of the busiest times of the year for me as many of my overseas clients take advantage of the hotel and flight deals on offer as well a chance to enjoy a more traditional Ramadan experience.
