Dubai's best villa programs of 2022

Buying a villa in Dubai, a dream we hope will come true in 2022. In Dubai, demand for villas has never been higher. Whether it's for ready-built villas, on the secondary market, or on the off-plan villa market. The price difference between off-plan villas and villas already built, for similar qualities and locations, can exceed 60%. It can therefore be difficult for international customers to find their way around, and Dubai Immo, a French real estate agency based in Dubai, is here to help.

Why buy a villa in Dubai?

The villa means freedom. No neighbors, less condo fees, more privacy. In Dubai, all villas come with at least two parking spaces and a garden. Dubai villas are generally built on at least two levels, a ground floor and a first floor. Often, a rooftop is built on the roof and allows you to create a beautiful terrace. Finally, in terms of price, villas are generally more interesting than apartments for large surfaces. If you need 3 or 4 bedrooms to accommodate your family or friends, you will find that prices for apartments are generally higher than for villas for this type of surface.

Independent villa or townhouse, how to choose ?

In Dubai, you can choose between two types of villas: independent villas and townhouses. Free-standing villas are single villas in the middle of a plot of land, and your garden is located all around the house. Townhouses are rows of houses "glued together". In this configuration, the least expensive houses are in the middle. The most sought-after townhouses are the "corner units", which are located on the sides. They have a direct neighbor on one side only. These are usually the largest townhouses.

Financing and payment plan

The question of financing is central in real estate. In Dubai, developers offer you the possibility to benefit from a payment plan without going through a bank. These payment plans are 0% interest and allow you to pay for your villa in installments. For example, at Damac Hills The Lagoons, you will have to pay 15% upon reservation, then 35% between reservation and completion (3 or 4 years), and 50% upon delivery of the keys. It is possible to have a bank in Dubai finance 50% of the total price of the villa. The real estate credit in Dubai, up to 50% of the price of the villa, is possible for French or European residents. No need to live in Dubai.
