Is it a good time to buy property in Dubai right now?

"The best time" is less about the calendar and more about the deal. Trying to time the exact market bottom is a losing game even for professionals. A better question is: is THIS unit priced fairly versus recent comparable transactions, and does it work on net yield? If yes, it's a good time for that purchase regardless of the headlines. If you're buying purely because you expect quick appreciation, you're speculating on timing. Focus on buying well — fair price, real demand, sustainable yield — and the macro timing matters much less.
