In the first six months of the year, just 3,000 new homes were delivered in Dubai, and the company only expects 5,500 to be completed during the second half of the year.In terms of areas, The Springs and The Meadows were the top-performing villa districts, reporting a 3 per cent increase in prices on the first quarter, although they remain 7 per cent lower than in the same period last year. Jumeirah Village was the weakest villa district \u2014 prices dropped by 5 per cent quarter-on-quarter and are down 17 per cent year-on-year. In terms of apartments, the only district to witness a sales price rise was Discovery Gardens, which was up 4 per cent on the first three months. Again, apartment prices in Jumeirah Village were down by 5 per cent.Rents were largely flat in most of the city&#8217;s communities, but in Emirates Hills and Palm Jumeirah villa rents dropped by 2 per cent and in Dubai Sports City and Dubailand they dropped by 3 per cent. Al Barari witnessed the biggest decline \u2014 down 4 per cent.mfahy@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\/dubai-house-prices-move-into-positive-territory-for-first-time-in-two-years\" target=\"_blank\">Dubai house prices move into positive territory for first time in two years<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#013; House prices in Dubai moved into positive territory for the first time in two years&#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-24609","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\/p75ss1-6oV","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":35212,"url":"https:\/\/www.siamlandbank.com\/propertynews\/property-news\/dubai-property-prices-widely-expected-to-rise-in-2017\/","url_meta":{"origin":24609,"position":0},"title":"Dubai property prices widely expected to rise in 2017","date":"November 21, 2016","format":false,"excerpt":"\r Brokers and analysts are certain that Dubai residential house prices will rise next year but disagree over the speed of the property market's recovery.
