The rise in transaction volumes also indicates market expectations that participants feel that the fall in the market prices may be nearing an end,\u2019 it adds.The research also shows that sales in mid-priced properties in areas such as International City and Discovery Gardens have been more resilient since 2013, falling only 11% on average, compared to an overall average of 21% in high-end areas.The report also found mortgages accounted for a larger portion of sales in 2015 compared to previous years. \u2018Mortgages are considered to be an indication of home ownership, which highlights the shift of the market from an investor based to an owner occupied one,\u2019 the report pointed out.\u2018However, there are instances where mortgage transactions outweigh sales, especially in the periods of a downturn implying a higher number of refinancing and other types of transaction taking place,\u2019 it added.&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\nSource : propertywire.com&#13;<br \/>\nRead more&#8230;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.propertywire.com\/news\/europe\/dubai-real-estate-sales-2015123011378.html\" target=\"_blank\">Property sales have fallen by up to 46% in parts of Dubai in last two years<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/body><\/html><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; Some parts of Dubai have seen residential property sales fall by more than 40% in&#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-316","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\/p75ss1-56","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":239,"url":"https:\/\/www.siamlandbank.com\/propertynews\/property-news\/property-sales-drop-nearly-50-in-parts-of-dubai-since-2013\/","url_meta":{"origin":316,"position":0},"title":"Property sales drop nearly 50% in parts of Dubai since 2013","date":"December 7, 2015","format":false,"excerpt":"\r New report shows that number of house sales in Dubai Marina during Jan-Oct fell to less than 1,500, down 46%\r \r Source : arabianbusiness.com\r Read more...Property sales drop nearly 50% in parts of Dubai since 2013","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Property News&quot;","img":{"alt_text":"","src":"","width":0,"height":0},"classes":[]},{"id":20672,"url":"https:\/\/www.siamlandbank.com\/propertynews\/property-news\/has-the-dubai-property-market-turned-house-prices-in-the-emirate-edge-up\/","url_meta":{"origin":316,"position":1},"title":"Has the Dubai property market turned?
