burj apartments 50% down in value
Lay offs across several sectors
50% loan to value ratios
bank will no longer loan to realty employees

stock market in freefall
etc etc etc

There are Lebo and Jordo arsehole agents who are equal in the Arseholeometer...
I once went to a Damac launch at the start of this year, their even worse a cattle market than Yorks or Rattlesnakes at 3AM...

Thing is, this morning I came upon a comment in Arabianbusiness.com where a stupid (most probably an agent or a broker) twit said that the pressure will now go towards the rental market since people will start to rent more and not buy...
So get ready for the "fake rental hype" where they will start spinning that rental market is very good and demand is exceeding supply hence keep the rental market at stupid rates...Wankeurs...
