How we calculate your affordability
Income vs. Expenses
We calculate your disposable income by subtracting monthly expenses (groceries, bills, etc.) from your total income. This determines how much you can allocate to housing costs like rent or mortgage payments.
Savings and Down Payment
For buyers, we assess your savings to see if you meet the typical 20% down payment in the UAE. For instance, a property worth AED 3M requires AED 600K upfront. Short on savings? We’ll suggest more affordable properties or rental options.
Location and Market Trends
- Luxury areas (Palm Jumeirah, Downtown): Higher budgets.
- Affordable areas (JVC, Dubai South): Budget-friendly options.
- Move-In Date: Suggests ready homes for soon, or off-plan for later.
Property costs vary across Dubai. We use real-time data to factor in your preferred community—or all areas if left blank.
Tailored Results
- Affordable: Fits comfortably.
- Stretch: Requires budget tweaks.
- Difficult: Beyond reach, with tips to adjust.
