In this episode of The Situation Zoom, Silvia Eldawi is joined by Lewis Allsopp, Abdullah Alajaji, and Rick Waind to unpack what is actually happening in the Dubai real estate market nearly eight weeks into the regional conflict.

This is a real-time conversation with three of the market’s most established operators, discussing what they are seeing inside their businesses and across the wider industry.

In this episode, we discuss:

• what the data is really saying
• why transactions have slowed but not stopped
• where the real pressure is building across off-plan, secondary, and leasing
• what is happening behind the scenes in brokerages, from cost-cutting to consolidation
• how buyers are thinking right now
• where opportunities are emerging
• what some of the smartest players in the industry think comes next

The conversation also explores market resilience, regulatory response, real estate portals, banking activity, buyer behaviour, seller strategy, and the broader economic outlook for Dubai property.

If you are a broker, investor, developer, buyer, seller, landlord, or simply trying to understand the next phase of the market, this episode is for you.
