Feng shui guide for finding your new home.

The time of your move is important and will either have positive or negative effects on your life.

Finding a new home always marks a turning point in one’s life. Sorting things out, throwing away what is no longer useful, packing up, moving out of the old space and moving into the new place all will naturally help you resolve the past and make decisions for the future.

The time of your move is important and will either have positive or negative effects on your health,career,finances and relationships. Before you actually begin your move,spend some time reviewing all that you have accomplished from the past to the present, and clarify your future plans as best you can.

If you decide to move, consider the following guide lines before you commit:

·       -You should feel invigorated and uplifted in the space you choose.

-

·       - If you have found a place you like, try to investigate its history and that of its prior tenants. All places as they have shapes or energy patterns have personalities that will influence your life and affairs. It is necessary to be aware of how you feel about a place. If you really love it, it will probably be auspicious for you.

·       - If you are looking for a house in the country, take note of the land features. A site that is exposed on all sides, with neither hills nor trees to protect it, or conversely, a site on a hilltop or in unusually windy holds place neither chi nor money and is therefore, undesirable.

·       - It is not a good idea to have a house that is positioned directly in line with a roadway, for example, at a T or Y junction, or where water runs directly and visibly towards or away from the main door. Also, beware of railroad tracks, telephone and electrical wires and tower antennae that are visible from your roads or windows.

·         -The best site for a house is one that sits amid hills and /or trees as if it were seated in armchair. Hills and trees should rise up from behind, and to the left and right of the site.

Most new development-are concentrated in the emirates of Dubai and Abu Dhabi .

After all that the real estate market in the UAE has been through times are a- changing. Real estate consultancies such as Jones Lang La Salle (JLL) and Asteco  have been studding the closely as always and the details from this research look promising. In 2012 rents were more or less stable in all emirates except towards _Q4 when they started to escalate.

In Dubai for instance, JLL has predicted that more than 40,000 residential units are scheduled to be released for occupancy over the next 2 year I.e before 2015. Of these, Asteco feels if construction  schedules are ad heard to, 2013 should see 5,400villas and 39,000 apartment ready for occupancy.

The most recent addition have been located mainly in Dubai Marina, discovery gardens, International City andJumeirah Lakes Tower, among others. The newer projects waiting on the anvil are in Downtown Dubai, Balqis residence at palm Jumeirah, the certium at IMPZ and silicon Gates at Dubai silicon oasis.Some homes are also ready in Dubai-land ,Business Bay  and Dubai sport City.
In Abu Dhabi, a notable upcoming residential devolopment is the Marasy which is located in Al-batten area.it comprises villa-style living developed mainly for UAE nationals. According to Asteco, apart from Marasy, there are no other remarkable new devolopment to look forward to in the first quarter of2013.

In fact what is interesting to note is that the rental gap between Abu Dhabi is not that much, and Abu Dhabi definitely offers quality living at affordable and value-based rental rates.

Moving past,there has always been a great demand for quality residential living in AL-Ain. Sahib Al Ashkhabad and shiebat al wahta ,two housing programs in one gated community, are slated to be the most coveted residential addresses inAl Ain. The community is located on a sprawling area of 500 acres and consist of  1,580 units looking to house more than 30,000 people.

Looking east there are no big developments worth mentioning. Cluttons  consultancy reports that in the emirates of Sharjah, the areas of Al Falaj, sharqan and Al fisht are the most desirable addresses to live even thought there has been a 15% increase in rent since October.

Dubai is 2nd hottest property market.

Investors must get their dream homes before these get priced out of market.

The city is truly bouncing back as Dubai has been ranked as the second hottest property in 2012 just behind Hong Kong, according to a report. The report ranks real estate markets in 2012 based on average house price growth.

While house prices shot up by 23.6 percent in Hong Kong, in Dubai , the average house prices rose by 19 percent in 2012. The Dubai residential market has experienced increases based on the rising demand from relocations as well as new tenants, and there is a noticeable demand for prime real estate. It is interesting to note that Dubai real estate prices and rents witnessed their 17^th consecutive monthly increase in April which indicates steady recovery in the sector and highlights the return of investor confidence.

The price recovery in prime properties that started months back is now spreading to second-tier communities. In spite of the new supply, investor confidence remains strong which has resulted in many master developers accelerating project launches. The same report also pointed out that the sale prices rose even faster than rental values. This is an indication of the fact that an investor who bought a unit in early 2012 would have already added to its value within the past one year.

Strategically located between the East and West, Dubai is a hub for international business and is, thus, attractive for investors as well as second-home owners. This accounts for the demand for Dubai property from investors across the globe.

Apart from local citizens,there are also investors from India,Pakistan and other Asian and European countries as well as the GCC. The scope,thus, has broadened for Dubai developers. It is advisable for investors to make the best use of current market conditions and get their dream home before they gets priced out of the market.
