The recent increase in prices in Dubai has sparked fears of another price bubble being created.
But last month, Mohamed Alabbar, chairman of Dubai’s biggest developer Emaar, said the government will not allow "unjustifiable" rent increases to fuel a new price bubble on the back of the emirate's Expo 2020 win.
Concerns have been voiced that the Expo victory could cause property developers to build too many residential and commercial projects, and investors to pour too much money into them, inflating a speculative bubble that would eventually burst.
Such a bubble popped in 2008-2010, when the global financial crisis caused Dubai property prices to crash by more than 50 percent, shaking financial markets around the world.
Earlier this month, Knight Frank said Dubai's real estate market is forecast to be the world's top performer in 2014, building on this year's rapid price growth.
The property consultancy's Prime Global Forecast predicted price growth of between 10-15 percent next year, ahead of Asian powerhouse markets such as Beijing and Shanghai.
Sydney and Paris rounded out the top five markets for 2014 with predictions of up to 10 percent growth, the report showed.
