Check out Dubizzle or Better Homes websites.

I believe the market is still dropping here and is likely to do so for the next twelve months as there are significant issues with over supply that will become more evident as a projected 100,000 new units will be delivered through 2010.

Of course this means that there are deals to be done at the moment but you will have to make a call as to how far you think it will continue to fall.

My balls are not that big, and my pockets are not deep enough to cover my ineptitude!

ETA: 100,000 sounds a lot, maybe I'm embellishing with an extra '0'....hmmmm, Jumeirah Village - massive, Jumeirah Park - pretty big, Sport City - very big, Business Bay - big, Marina still has a lot of construction happening....maybe not!

As above really, Dubizzle and the classifieds.
It's a bit like saying what can you get in England for 100k. Well in some places it would get you a lovely place. In the centre of London however, it would buy you a garage....maybe.
