Now that's a valid point. Hong Kong, Singapore there is no space to build anymore. While Dubai has a lot.

You cannot compare Dubai to matured markets like Singapore, Moscow, London. These places have seen the up and downs, twists and turns of a cyclical market. What has Dubai seen. Dubai is still on the starting point of the cycle.

There are countries like the U.S. where you have real estate indexes where you can analyse how that particular areas are performing. You can approach authorities to see what prices the last umpteen number of properties were sold for.

Nobody knows how Dubai will move in years to come. If it moves up, everyone will be happy. If it does not, we will be licking our wounds.

At the moment, Dubai can be compared only to Dubai and no other place.
