When I saw them 3 years ago, they wanted 120k for a 4-bedroomed corner one and I thought the garden was too small compared with Sas Al Nakeel

At 25,000 it would have been a dump or a tent in the desert!

You couldn't get anything decent for that price 10 years ago! More like 65,000 for a 2 bed and 85,000 for a 3 bed. You may have got a cheaper one if you managed to get a Khalifa Committee one but even then you would have been looking at 50,000 for a 2 bed.

10 years ago we first started off in a 2 bed in khayldia for 25 and it wasnt a dump, then you could get a 3 bed for 50k and also a bigger 3 bed for 55k so not a tent or horrible and these were private landlords not khalifa committee, thats what the prices were back then, since 5 years ago things have changed.

We must have been ripped off then - as we were paying 40,000 for an apartment with facilities in Dubai in 1994 and thought it was shocking when we had to pay 50,000 (for a 2 bed without facilities) when we moved to Abu Dhabi in 1995 but that WAS the going rate then.

the 2 bed was new, the 3 bed wasnt new but perhaps 2 or so years old, the 3 bed bigger one was again a couple of years old.
