Our quarterly cross-market briefing: twenty-nine markets, the cost of borrowing as a foreign buyer, cycle position, tax by nationality, and the CASABROVA Score.
After Spain: Where Europe’s Foreign Property Money Goes Next
Spain is now late-cycle and crowded for foreign buyers — so where does Europe's property money rotate next? CASABROVA separates revealed preference, structural quality (the Score) and timing (the Master Index), and maps the case for Romania, Poland and the UAE.

Market Review — Sharjah
Sharjah is Dubai's neighboring emirate and the UAE's cultural capital. The city offers significantly lower property prices than Dubai while providing easy access to Dubai's employment market. Al Majaz, Al Khan, and the University City area attract diverse tenants. Sharjah's more conservative character and family-friendly environment appeal to a different investor and tenant profile.
