Moderate Price Correction Expected in 2026 Home prices in the UAE could begin easing in 2026 as tens of thousands of new apartments and villas hit the market, according to a new report from Moody's Ratings. For residents, that could mean more choice, steadier rents, and a less overheated housing market. On The Business Breakfast, we spoke to the Moody’s Assistant Vice President and analyst Aziz Al Sammarai, MFin, who wrote the report about what to expect and how “moderate” this correction might be.

From Banking Boardrooms to Dubai Real Estate: The Lesson of Self-Reliance When I transitioned from being a top banker in India to starting from scratch as a realtor in Dubai, I carried one belief with me: Relationships are everything. For years, I thought my biggest strength was the network of colleagues, peers, and friends I had built. I believed that with their support, I could achieve anything. My confidence in those bonds was so high that I saw them as an invisible safety net for my next chapter. But reality hit hard. Overnight, many of those “relationships” vanished. Some disappeared within weeks, others faded in a year. Only a handful stayed behind to offer moral support — and not one person came forward with the simple help I truly needed: a referral, an introduction, or even a word-of-mouth recommendation. It wasn’t financial help I was looking for. With two decades of banking experience, I was confident in my ability to guide anyone considering investments in Dubai. What I needed was trust and connection. Yet, I had to build my clientele all over again — brick by brick, client by client. That’s when the truth dawned: • Many colleagues only pretended to be friends. • Many “friends” were around only because of the position I once held. • Very few ever tried to understand the struggle, let alone extend a hand. And so, the biggest lesson emerged: 👉 Do not build your future on borrowed strength. Build it on your own skills. Colleagues change. Friends drift. Circumstances evolve. But the one thing that stays with you is your ability to create value — your expertise, your resilience, your persistence. Today, I look back at that transition not with regret but with gratitude. Because it forced me to become self-reliant. It reminded me that the strongest foundation is not relationships of convenience, but skills sharpened through experience and the ability to stand tall, even when the support system falls apart. To anyone going through a similar transition, my advice is simple: Focus on building yourself. Relationships are good to have — but skills and self-reliance are what carry you forward.
