The research study aims to examine factors that have influenced the performance of property developers in the construction and real estate sector of UAE and Middle East with a view to identifying the root causes faced by property developers while completing construction projects. The UAE real estate market has witnessed significant losses and is facing a severe downturn, especially after the 2008 international financial crisis. Though the market has slowly managed to recover, real estate development continues to be hindered by several factors. The current study reviews some of the key variables that impact real estate value for property developers in the UAE. It examines factors that influence the price of real estate in the UAE and other countries, such as Kenya, Nigeria, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, and countries in Europe. The current review shows that property developers must account for the current supply of properties, the prevailing interest rates, crude oil price, investor purchasing power and liquidity, USD exchange rate fluctuations, and regulatory impositions by the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA) when determining the current and prospective value of a property in the Middle East, esp, UAE. Other micro factors that impact the value of property include location, availability of amenities, and property features. The impact of the UAE stock market on property value remains unclear. Furthermore, this research also analyzed relationship in stick market and real estate boom and found positive relation in USA but no such relationship was seen in UAE markets.
