Mohammed Ali Al-Dosari, CEO of Mohammed Al-Dosari Contracting Company, confirmed that the real estate sector in the Gulf region is considered one of the most stable long-term investments. He pointed out that sensitive conditions affecting the region—such as wars or regional tensions—often raise questions among investors and property owners about how much the real estate market may be impacted and the best timing for making buying or selling decisions.
Al-Dosari noted that the real estate sector has a strong ability to withstand challenges compared to other economic sectors, as it is closely tied to essential needs such as housing, employment, and long-term investment.
He explained that the effects of crises are often more psychological than practical, as market activity tends to slow temporarily due to anticipation and caution among investors. He emphasized that this impact is usually short-lived, as real demand for housing and property does not disappear.
He added that many investors prefer to wait for stability before initiating purchase decisions, which often leads to a market rebound after a short period. He stressed that real estate is considered a safe haven during times of uncertainty, as investors tend to shift toward tangible assets like land and property to preserve the value of their investments, unlike financial markets, which are characterized by high volatility.
He further explained that periods of tension may present opportunities for some investors who seek relatively lower prices or valuable properties at attractive rates. He highlighted the importance of a long-term perspective for smart investors, noting that success depends on evaluating the true value of a property, its location, and its future growth potential, rather than focusing on temporary conditions.
He concluded by emphasizing that regional crises and wars may have a short-term psychological impact on the market, but they usually do not affect the fundamental strengths of the real estate sector. Therefore, real estate investment remains one of the safest and most stable options over the long term.
