A Dream Too Big?
When Sara and Omar first moved to Dubai, they shared a tiny studio in the bustling heart of Bur Dubai. She worked as a preschool teacher, and he was a junior IT technician. With a combined monthly income of AED 14,000, their dream of buying a home in one of the world’s most dynamic cities felt nearly impossible.
Dubai’s skyline was inspiring but intimidating. Could two young professionals with limited resources break into its fast-moving real estate market? The answer came with time, planning, and unwavering hope.
Planning Every Dirham
Like many couples starting out, budgeting was their first major step. They reduced unnecessary spending—weekly restaurant dinners turned into home-cooked meals, movie nights became cozy evenings with Netflix, and vacations were replaced with weekend drives.
Every saved dirham went into a joint savings account marked “Future Home.” Over the span of three years, they accumulated AED 120,000. It wasn’t just money—it was their dream fund.
“We didn’t want luxury,” Sara said. “We wanted roots.”
Discovering Opportunities in Dubai’s Affordable Communities
Dubai’s real estate market isn’t just about super-luxury towers. There’s a thriving ecosystem of affordable housing that often goes unnoticed. With the help of CityNest Realty, the couple explored:
Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC)
Dubai South
Town Square
International City
They were surprised to discover studio and one-bedroom units starting from as low as AED 300,000. With their savings and a 25% down payment, options began to open up.
Making the Leap
After months of research and viewings, they found a cozy 1-bedroom apartment in Dubai South, priced at AED 390,000. The area was quiet, family-friendly, and offered future infrastructure growth potential.
They qualified for a mortgage with a local bank, with monthly payments just under AED 3,000. It was tight, but manageable.
A New Chapter Begins
Today, Sara and Omar sit on their own balcony, sipping karak and watching the sunset. Their modest salary didn’t limit them—it shaped their determination. Their apartment is more than bricks and walls—it’s the result of shared effort, discipline, and belief.
