Sim Whatley, the proud owner of Dubizzle.com, is a multidimensional character. By visiting his online portal Dubizzle you can find all needed information about dubai jobs, classified, and property in Dubai.
Off the back of dubizzle's wildly successful International Market Investment pages, we have decided to vastly improve our up and coming Dubai Property for Sale section.
We already have one of the largest online databases of fresh real estate for sale in Dubai with live feeds from Landmark, Better Homes, Taktical and Halcon and various new agencies starting the sign up process every week. With such a fantastic listing, however, we decided that a better search and design was desperately needed.
People who are looking to invest in property in Dubai require a different type of listing than someone who is in the market for a couch, so we had to stray a bit from the basic dubizzle design. Instead, we instituted a listing in which real estate seekers can view photos and information about a property without committing to clicking on the listing. This makes the browsing experience much quicker and easier for the real estate investor.
Furthermore, the search for real estate in Dubai is much different than that of a second hand refrigerator. Firstly, the turnover is much slower, and secondly the neighbourhood plays a much more crucial role. The trouble is, Dubai has 100s of neighbourhoods, they're not clearly defined, hardly anyone knows their names, and new ones spring up every day. It's confusing enough for someone who lives in Dubai, let alone someone who is looking to invest in property in Dubai from overseas.
With consideration of all of these factors, we decided that we needed to devise a new clever yet simple property search . The solution was quite simple, we decided that we needed to break Dubai into a number of key areas where people search for housing in Dubai . All of Dubai's no-name neighbourhoods would fall under one of these areas, as would any new property developments. From looking at our property search map you can see that we broke Dubai into 17 distinct areas: Palm Jebel Ali, Palm Jumeirah, The World, Palm Deira, Jebel Ali, Dubai Marina, Beach Communities, Bur Dubai, Freehold Suburbs South, Al Barsha, SZR Trade Centre, Garhoud, Qusais, Dubai Land, Dubai East, and Mirdiff.
With the new property search, users are able to view this simplified map of Dubai and select in which neighbourhoods they would like to conduct their search. The new additions have been a welcomed change on Dubizzle as we have already seen our page-views on the Free zones in UAE for Sale pages double over the month of April.

Short Sale Tips for Buyers and Sellers
By: Roby Pagong | 28/12/2009A short sale takes place when the value of the property declines to be lesser than the remaining value of the mortgage.
