if you want to get something ready, you can go for the Zig Zag towers( next to the Pearl) they are ready,the quality is good and the prices are lower than the pearl but with the same facilities. I'll go on thursday to see one. They still have some for sale, but it's much cheaper to buy it from the ones that bought it in the project state. About the economy and prices...well I think they are going to be stable for a while, but if you plan to stay here for a few years you'll have a minimum 50% gain.
