When to Rethink Holding a Property: Warning Signs
Aimed at property owners and would be real estate investors, this Egyptian Arabic video argues that the choice to hold a property should rest on the numbers. It covers warning signs that call for a reassessment: weak real demand, with months on the market and few viewings, and maintenance, taxes, fees and vacancy eating into net returns. The visuals use the One Line Drawing style, where a single unbroken line draws each idea.

The brief
This is the brief that made the video. Start from it and change what you like.
Make a landscape (16:9) explainer of about 45 seconds in Egyptian Arabic for people thinking about real estate investment. Open by asking whether holding a property is always the right choice, suggesting it can be a habit more than a calculation, and promise three signs that call for a reassessment. Sign one is weak real demand, shown with a house, a falling arrow and a calendar of empty months, few viewings and offers far below the asking price. Sign two is costs such as maintenance, taxes, fees and vacancy eating into the return. Sign three is a better opportunity once risk is accounted for. Close by stressing that reassessing does not mean selling at once, and ask viewers whether their property shows one of these signs. Use a confident, calm expert narrator and simple line drawings.
The script
المشهد 1 – المقدمة
(أرسم: يد تكتب عنوان كبير)
هل تعلم إن الاحتفاظ بالعقار مش دايمًا القرار الصح؟
أحيانًا بيبقى مجرد عادة… مش حساب.
خلينا نشوف 3 علامات لو ظهرت، لازم توقف وتعيد التقييم.
المشهد 2 – العلامة الأولى
(رسم: منزل + سهم نازل + تقويم فيه شهور فاضية)
العلامة الأولى: الطلب الفعلي ضعيف.
شهور بتعرض… والمعاينات قليلة… والعروض بعيدة عن سعرك.
السوق بيكلمك. اسمعه بدري.
المشهد 3 – العلامة الثانية
(رسم: منزل محاط بمصاريف: صيانة، ضرائب، رسوم، وفراغ)
العلامة التانية: المصاريف بتاكل العائد.
