How down market can be utilised
Analyse the market and figure out how the other units similar to your property is priced, keep a tab on price variations so you can simply rent your property until the market reaches your desired pricing point. You have to identify whether your buyers are end users or investors, this will help you develop objectives as how to shape your property to meet the specific want of the buyer. Buyers look for value in a property because the value means a lot when reselling. The right pricing play a very fundamental role, your property will not receive much attention because buyers will opt for same type of the property at a much lower price. When there is less people willing to buy your property due the high price your property will end up in the market for longer period. When your property stays in the market for a much longer time than it should be, it will gradually loose its market interest and will decrease your chances of coming across a qualified buyer. Once your property has lost its demand than it had before, you will have to accept and settle for a lesser price. Testing the market with an off track price will have negative results, buyers would avoid any confrontation and overpriced listing will not show up if one is purchasing the property with current market price filters. It is always wise to discuss with a property agent about the demand/supply of the current realty market of Dubai and price the property appropriately, this will not only help one sell their property faster but also help receive a much better price. Lastly enhancing the appeal of the property will receive more demand than a property with no appeal.
