The index has declined 12 basis points, from 216 points in Q3 28 to points in Q3 29, which represents a reduction of 4. The blended average house price for Q3 29 is approximately AED 1,16 per ft2 (AED 1,936/m 2 ) compared to AED 1,916/ft² (AED 2,623/m 2 ) in Q3 28. Notwithstanding the year-on-year decline in house prices, the past quarter (Q3 29) has seen the index increase marginally by. Average house prices in selected areas have increased from AED 949/ft² (AED 1,/m 2 ) in Q2 29 to AED 1,16/ ft² (AED 1,936/m 2 )in Q3 29. Colliers research indicates that the areas that have experienced growth during the quarter are developments that offer residents added value in the form of leisure amenities, convenience retail, landscaped gardens, community cohesion etc. This was evident in developments such as the Springs, Meadows, Greens, Arabian Ranches and others. It has been concluded that the increase in prices in these areas can be attributed to the following circumstances: Availability of Finance: To financial institutions, the greater demand in these developments represented a reduced risk profile, compared to other developments. With their improved liquidity positions, financial institutions have increased their lending in these areas. The availability of mortgage finance to prospective purchasers further stimulated demand, to the point where the increased demand started to exercise upward pressure on prices. Perceived change in Sentiment Improved business activities, outside the real estate and construction sector, coupled with a better perception of job security have improved market sentiment amongst potential purchasers. Transparency and Delays: The ability of investors to monitor the physical progress of developments over the past three to six month has provided a clearer picture on the actual delays and postponements of projects and has, therefore, enhanced transparency in the market and stimulated demand for well-progressing projects. Investors and Occupiers: As property prices declined during the first half of 29, units in these developments began to represent good investment opportunities to both owner occupiers and investors. 2

colliers international house price index dubai third Quarter 29 Dubai Foreign Ownership Index Completed versus Incomplete Projects. In most, if not all property markets throughout the world there are property categories that achieve better selling prices than others. Whilst it is necessary to average out prices across a market to track the general trends in that market, the HPI must also track the effect of certain unique influences that impact the Dubai market overall. In Dubai, as in other markets, there is a price differential between a properties that are complete and occupiable as opposed to properties that are still under construction or in their planning phase. The HPI needs to track the trends in these markets and record them. Also, in Dubai, is the large Downtown Burj Dubai development, which for a variety of reasons was attracting better prices than other projects. The HPI accordingly analyses the trends for prices achieved for completed properties as opposed to properties still under construction. It looks at the trends, inclusive of the Burj Dubai results and excluding the Burj Dubai results.

Average prices for properties still under construction increased by 14% to AED 826/ft² (AED 8,891/m²) in Q3 29 compared to AED 721/ft² (AED 7,76/m²) in the previous quarter. The increase in the selling price of properties still under construction can be attributed to increased selling prices being achieved in Burj Dubai Downtown. Also, whilst financial institutions had previously stopped granting any loans against incomplete properties, there appears to have been a shift in policy during the quarter whereby they started to grant loans against properties that were 7 complete or within six months from completion. This returned some buoyancy to this market segment. 4
