Heriot-Watt University Dubai today announced that 'The Essential Guide to the Dubai Real Estate Market', authored by Dr Michael Waters, associate professor in Real Estate has been launched. Focussing on the city’s real estate market from an impartial and informed perspective, the book provides an in-depth analysis of the sector and examines the foundations of future trends. It offers a comprehensive and up-to-date account of the Dubai property market and fully assesses investment potential. As an academic, Dr Waters outlines key metrics of real estate analysis that can be applied to work and studies by students and new professionals.

Commenting on the book launch, Dr Waters said: "Dubai is a fascinating real estate market and is one of the most attractive places to invest in, globally. As the market has evolved over the past ten years and with the fluctuations as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, it felt appropriate to reflect on the sector’s growth, the value it offers, the trends that will shape the future and what buyers and investors can expect. The purpose of this book is to present the developments and showcase the evolution that has occurred and underpinned the market. It was also a way to provide background reading for real estate, business and finance students."
