Arenco and Wasl villsa have waiting lists the length of Dubai! There is a great villa in knowledge village/media city behind the Gloria Hotel. Location not the best as it backs onto a school kind of but it is compound, 4 bed and large. Was 165k but dont know the agent, might be worth driving over there It's all about timing with waiting lists. If the first 50 people on a list are in the middle of leases and face penalties if breaking ... If you're no 51 on the list and ready to go when one comes available, happy days. This has happened a couple of my friends. Just luck! Would be very interested in that villa in knowledge village/media city ... I did see one on dubizzle for same location for 215k ... Prob same one with inflated price .....

thanks mumofmoo... i'm trying and have put my name on waiting list at lots of places... the challenge is that most agents are trying to push two properties at us (one the refurbished villas just behind al ghazal mall and the other is the refurbished arenco type villas just next to mosque between Spinneys umm al sheif and beach road) i'm looking for a compound type villa, 3 bedroom, preferrably single storey that has at least a reasonably sized private garden...and all this for 160K... i don't mind if it's old and shabby looking (personally i prefer those to the fancy new ones as i feel it gives the home a lot of character)... if u do see of any on your travels around the area, please do ping in on here... thanks... HorizonMum, It sounds like we are looking for the exact same thing and are equally having the same difficulty. I called Arenco and was told they don't have anything at the moment but houses come up all the time. Not much good to us when we want to move ASAP. It's all so frustrating. An agent told me this morning and I quote " when Dubai wins the expo the prices will automatically go up 20/25%" ..... Aaarrrgggghhhhhhh ..... Beginning to dislike Dubai a lot :( Good luck with your search Curly

Hi, possibly stupid question but have you called Arenco? They have some great 3 bed villas near Al Ghazal mall currently advertised at 150k. Not sure whether there are any available but worth a try. Maybe go there and have a look around to see whether any will be freed up soon? ETA: I'm not referring to the single-storey villas which were recently refurbished and which are overpriced. Rather the terraced white double-storey ones a bit further down (I think they're called Hudaiba). edited by WhiteOrchid on 14/11/2013 i did already :( and my name's down on the waiting list... but they aren't even willing to tell me how far along the list i am! :(

Not interessted in arabic style villas. Thanks. Good luck! Every where I looked, they were asking 300k for 5 bed. What agents ask and what they actually get are two very different things. Dont believe agents. They are not looking out for you. They want their pockets lined with the extra cash.

Im not sure if it is single story. I dont think so but it is hard to tell, tried to see this morning Look on Dubizzle and ring EVERYONE that is advertising. It is a shockingly bad system and then you get bent over for the 5% when we do all the hard work. there are some on Umm Al Sheif for rent but I find them small. They are on the right if you are heading towards the beach pretty near the end Also, just drive around and see which have signs up. Our original budget was 150k but what we saw for that was rubbish,

We just got a 4 bed in Umm Sequim for 175 There is one near us in a small compaiund it looks like by Blossom nursery. I have no details but I did take a picture of the sign for you Jason 050 9455369 Emirates homes. From Al Manara, turn left onto Al Wasl then first right and it is on the right That's a great price (by Dubai standards), congrats. How did you find this one mumofmoo? We are looking for a 3 bed in the same area, max budget of about 170k. Getting ever more depressed at the rate of rental price increases ..... :( If anyone know of any nice compounds with vacant villas, please let me know. (Sorry to hijack btw, thanks) Curly

you'll be able to find a nice one in barsha for that price... i've been looking for 3 bedrooms in ummsuqeim and sufouh but am getting nothing lesser than 180-200K... so notably a 4 or 5 bedroom will be much more... all the best
