hi, this is my first post here (as my post count will no doubt indicate!) and i found the site because i typed 'i want to buy on marjan island' into google - i have had a bit of bother and need to sell my Pacific one bed very quickly.
i know i cant talk about that yet, the rules say so, but i can talk to fbx258 and say yes my friend, its true.
there are a whole bunch of appartments for sale in Ajman and Sharjah either side of emirates road. some of the studio's start at as little as AED200k - quite reasonable. what you need to bear in mind is that every one of these appartments has been brought by a speculator on the property market hoping to cash in as they think ajman is going to offer the same returns as dubai did 3 years ago. it isnt.
there are 300+ towers being developed either side of emirates rd in ajman and sharjah - that means thousands of units available at cheap prices (with no construction guarantees i might add). what is available on this site are merely the first wave of appartments to come on the secondary market, the easy payment plans meant they went fast. if you buy one of these and attempt to re sell in, say, 6 months - you're going to be competeing with thousands of other people for a buyer. if you want one to live in then more power to you.
Pacific is the CNBC 2008 MENA property development of the year. remember what happened to off-plan developments on the palm - off plan AED4.2m, once constructed AED20m+.
i work in business media and talk to a LOT of people far more intelligent than me every working day - marjan island is an excellent opportunity, i wish i could keep my place (give me a few more posts and you might see it advertised here
