Some people say that digital services offer better ways to manage the property launches and bookings. An anonymous broker remembers about the early 2000s, when long queues were seen as a signal of Dubai's thriving property market. Today, with Dubai firmly established as a desirable location and social media is doing its job to spread the popularity of Dubai, the requirement of long offline queues is not looking so good.
Long queues have downsides, as some brokers working in Dubai Housing find out that these long lines can lead to a situation that will affect the trust between agents, buyers, and developers. The practice of long waits can make it difficult for agents from engaging with new projects, affecting the all around situation of property launches. In 2024, the demand for properties by some developers like Nakheel, Emaar, Damac, and Aldar is seeing huge demand, and because of this, there are huge lines for booking but very few get the opportunity to get their dream house in Dubai. For this, it is advised to go through brokers who have a good hold in the market.
There were some launches of luxurious housing for which the agents have been waiting for more than 13 hours. For this, the physical preparations for such events like organising chairs, snacks, and power supplies normally neglects the long working hours that agents have to go. Some people working in the property market in Dubai also feel the same about standing and waiting in line is very much uncomfortable and they want a new and better way of these practices.
