Rents fell by 7 per cent over the period._____________________\u2022 Top 10 villas for sale on Dubai&#8217;s Palm Jumeirah &#8211; in pictures_____________________&#8221;With a total stock of approximately 1,700 villas, an estimated 150-200 villas are currently available for sale on Palm Jumeirah. More units are anticipated to be held by investors as many are not pressed financially to sell in this bottoming market, while a few others look towards commanding premiums by refurbishing existing units and attracting buyers who are seeking contemporary products,&#8221; said David Godchaux, CEO of Core, UAE Associate of Savills.&#8221;A strong recovery in prices is not anticipated in the near term as we expect this underlying stock to keep the sales prices static even if the demand revives in the coming quarters,&#8221; he added.Overall the report reveals prime residential prices in Dubai are 60 per cent below prime New York, 75 per cent below prime London and a staggering 85 per cent below prime Hong Kong.Core, which uses its own data as well as that of Reidin, compared data from the six months to the 19 June compared with the first six months of 2015.lbarnard@thenational.aeFollow The National&#8217;s Business section on Twitter&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource : thenational.ae&#013;<br \/>\nRead more&#8230;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thenational.ae\/business\/property\/sales-of-prime-villas-on-dubais-palm-jumeirah-fall-44-per-cent\" target=\"_blank\">Sales of prime villas on Dubai&#8217;s Palm Jumeirah fall 44 per cent<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#013; The number of the most expensive villas sold on Dubai&#8217;s prestigious Palm Jumeirah fell by&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"false","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17230","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-property-news"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p75ss1-4tU","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":2946,"url":"https:\/\/www.siamlandbank.com\/propertynews\/property-news\/dubais-luxury-villas-just-wont-sell\/","url_meta":{"origin":17230,"position":0},"title":"Dubai&#039;s luxury villas just won&#039;t sell","date":"January 28, 2016","format":false,"excerpt":"\r \r Resembling a large white castle located on one of the fronds of Dubai's Palm Jumeirah, this sumptuous six-bedroom, seven-bathroom villa appears to typify the Dubai dream.
