If the $ earns another 5-10% expect surprises in Dubai.
If I have a one bedroom in Greens I will sell it for 200k pounds and will by a nice detached house in Uk (maybe with a little more extra cash).
The dollar strength could be a big problem
The dollar strength will definitely be a disincentive for foriegners to buy. The other problem is delays in project deliveries along with dodgy developers creating bad press. The current high prices along with future oversupply if units are delivered should mean slowing prices which is good news for a stable market
