PAST YEARS MARKET STATISTICS

Dubai population

Dubai is expected to move through 2026 in a “high‑activity but cooling” phase: transaction volumes should stay strong, but price growth is likely to slow and become more uneven across communities and asset types. Beyond 2026, most credible forecasts point to a soft landing rather than a crash, with mild corrections or flat prices possible in supply‑heavy mid‑market areas and greater resilience in prime, low‑supply locations.

 

2026 base‑case outlook
  • After the record 2025 result (around AED 680+ billion in sales), local analysts expect demand in 2026 to remain solid, driven by population growth, long‑term residents and international investors rather than short‑term speculation.
  • Several studies and brokerage forecasts describe 2026 as a year of moderate growth and stabilisation, with prices in many areas plateauing or rising at low single‑digit rates instead of the double‑digit gains seen in recent years.

Rental markets should stay tight but begin to normalise: more completions and slightly slower demand growth are expected to cap further sharp rent increases, especially in mid‑income apartment communities.Supply, price risks and where corrections may appear

  • Rating agencies and consultancies highlight a substantial supply wave: roughly 120,000-150,000 new homes are scheduled across 2025-2027, with a particularly heavy delivery focus in 2026 anouncements, several analysts expect actual 2026 handovers to be materially lower than headline figures, which should limit downside pressure at the city‑wide level but still test specific corridors.
  • Consensus is converging on the risk of a mild correction (roughly 5-12% price declines) in segments where new stock is concentrated, especially some mid‑market apartment areas like JVC, Arjan and parts of Dubailand, if deliveries briefly exceed end‑user absorption.
Segmentation: prime vs mid‑market in 2026-2027
  • Prime and ultra‑luxury districts (Palm Jumeirah, waterfront signature projects, core Downtown / Burj Khalifa zone) are generally expected to remain resilient thanks to limited land, strong global‑wealth demand and smaller relative delivery pipelines.
  • Upper‑mid and family villa communities with proven end‑user depth (Emirates Living, Dubai Hills, established parts of Arabian Ranches and similarly mature areas) are more likely to see stabilisation than outright price drops, with performance linked to school access and connectivity.
  • Highly launch‑driven, investor‑heavy off‑plan clusters face the greatest dispersion of outcomes: projects with strong brands, payment plans and locations should hold up, while generic stock in oversupplied micro‑markets may need price incentives or extended payment terms to clear.
Demand drivers and structural supports
  • Demographics remain a key tailwind: Dubai’s population surpassed 4 million in 2025, with strong inflows of professionals, entrepreneurs and high‑net‑worth individuals supported by visa reforms, economic growth and geopolitical positioning.
  • Golden Visas, long‑term residency schemes and full foreign ownership in many free‑zones continue to shift demand from short‑term to end‑user and second‑home ownership, reducing the reliance on speculative flipping seen in earlier cycles.
  • Macro conditions—tax advantages, relative affordability versus global peers, and continued infrastructure investment – are expected to underpin steady user demand even if global interest rates and geopolitics remain volatile.
Medium‑term view: 2027 and beyond
  • Some research flags 2027 as the year when cumulative deliveries may truly “test the limits” of absorption, especially if developers do not slow new launches; this is where a broader, but still controlled, softening in prices and rents becomes more likely.
  • The prevailing view is a soft‑landing scenario: flat to slightly negative real price growth in oversupplied areas, modest nominal growth in balanced communities, and continued outperformance in scarce, prime assets.

Market structure is expected to keep evolving through technology (tokenisation, fractional ownership, digital title systems), which should support liquidity and broaden the investor base, but also make pricing more transparent and competitive.For your strategy as an investor in 2026, this implies focusing on:

  • defensiveness and rental depth in mid‑market (ready units in strong‑demand communities),
  • scarcity and brand quality in prime/luxury, and
  • being more selective with off‑plan, preferring reputable developers and locations where the 2027–2028 delivery wave looks manageable.

***

For 2026, the most realistic expectation is a flat to mildly positive price environment overall, with bigger differences between areas than in 2024–2025. For 2027, the balance of opinion points to sideways to mildly negative prices in oversupplied segments, and low‑single‑digit growth in prime / constrained areas.

 

2026: likely price change range

Grounded in the 2025 data (about 12% year‑on‑year growth by December) and current 2026 outlook pieces from local portals and consultancies, a reasonable working range for 2026 is:

  • City‑wide average: roughly ‑3% to +5% for residential prices.
  • Prime / luxury (Palm Jumeirah, core Downtown, branded waterfront): more resilient, likely around 0% to +6%, supported by limited new supply and continued global‑wealth demand.
  • Mid‑market apartments in high‑launch corridors (JVC, Arjan, parts of Dubailand, emerging outer areas):more exposed to incoming supply, with a realistic band of about ‑5% to +2% depending on project quality and absorption.

This aligns with UAE‑wide research that expects “steady demand but selective cooling” in 2026 and flags that after the record 2025 jump, price growth should slow to low single digits or flatten in many communities rather than continue double‑digit increases.

 

2027: likely price change range

Because a significant portion of the large pipeline is due to hand over between 2026 and 2028, 2027 is widely seen as the year when the market is “tested” by actual deliveries. A reasonable range, assuming no major global shock, is:

  • City‑wide average: approximately ‑5% to +3%.
  • Oversupplied mid‑market corridors: more room for adjustment as multiple projects complete; a plausible band is ‑8% to 0%, with developers using incentives and payment‑plan flexibility to clear stock.
  • Prime / scarce stock (waterfront villas, blue‑chip branded residences, core low‑supply villa communities):still supported by structural demand, likely around 0% to +4%, but with greater dispersion between truly unique assets and generic “luxury” product.

Several regional and global rating‑agency style outlooks emphasise the risk of a soft correction rather than a crash: modest nominal declines in certain pockets, offset by stability or small gains elsewhere, particularly where population and income growth remain strong and competing supply is limited.

How to use these ranges as an investor

  • Treat them as scenario bands, not point forecasts: focus on whether a specific asset can still deliver your target IRR under, say, a ‑5% price shock and flat rents.
  • In 2026, prioritise assets where current rents already justify today’s prices (yield defensiveness) rather than buying purely on appreciation expectations.
  • For 2027, be especially careful with off‑plan completing into heavily supplied areas; favour schemes with strong brands, infrastructure, and proven end‑user depth, or be compensated with a clear pricing discount.

Dubai’s property market delivered a record‑breaking 2025, combining all‑time‑high sales with clear signs of a maturing, more selective cycle rather than an overheated spike. It was the fifth consecutive year of strong growth and cemented Dubai’s position as one of the world’s leading real estate investment hubs.

 

2025 numbers:
  • Dubai Land Department data show property sales of about AED 682.5 billion in 2025, up 30.6% from AED 522.36 billion in 2024 and the highest annual sales value on record.
  • The emirate registered 214,912 sales transactions, an 18.8% increase year on year; including mortgages and gifts, total real estate transactions reached AED 919 billion across 275,442 deals.
  • Alternative datasets (Property Monitor) confirm the same direction, with sales value around AED 686.8 billion over roughly 215,500–215,700 transactions, underscoring consistency across sources.
Prices, rents and yields:
  • Dynamic Price Index shows 12.1% year‑on‑year price growth in December 2025, with average residential prices at AED 1,673 per sq ft, more than double the October 2020 trough and about 36% above the 2014 peak.
  • 2025 median prices are about AED 1,718 per sq ft in the primary (off‑plan) market and AED 1,481 per sq ft in the resale market, with resale prices per sq ft rising 11.3% vs 6.7% in the primary segment.
  • Gross rental yields in most residential communities generally held in the 6–8% range, supported by roughly 405,000 rental contracts and robust rent levels, especially for villas and prime waterfront product.
Market structure and segment behaviour:
  • Off‑plan dominated activity: about 149,290 off‑plan deals worth AED 448.1 billion, equating to roughly 69% of transactions and 65% of sales value.
  • After technical adjustment for villa/townhouse registration, Property Monitor estimates off‑plan’s share at about 73% of December 2025 transactions, with completed (Title Deed) sales making up the balance.
  • Resale transactions (around 66,446 deals; AED 238.8 billion) grew more moderately in volume but outperformed on prices and show longer holding periods, signalling that speculative flipping has eased and that completed stock is constrained in key locations.
Supply, launches and geography:
  • 2025 was an unprecedented launch year: 648 projects brought more than 167,000 units to market, with an estimated launch value of about AED 463 billion – equivalent to a new residential project every 13.5 hours.
  • As of year‑end, Dubai had 1,464 residential projects under construction totaling 452,101 units (about AED 359.4 billion in development value); roughly 65% of these units are only 0–20% complete and are unlikely to deliver before 2027–2028.
  • Business Bay, Jumeirah Village Circle, Palm Jumeirah, Dubai South, Al Yalayis 1, the Burj Khalifa area and Palm Jebel Ali ranked among the top areas by sales value, while JVC led by number of transactions with more than 18,000 deals, highlighting a clear split between prime‑luxury and mid‑market growth corridors.
Cycle position and investment implications:
  • Despite record volumes, Property Monitor recorded two consecutive small monthly price declines (‑0.42% in November and ‑0.17% in December), indicating consolidation rather than reversal as the market absorbs high prices and abundant launches.
  • Over the five‑year period from 2020 to 2025, total sales value jumped from AED 71.5 billion to AED 686.8 billion(up 861%), while transaction volumes rose 521% and average prices per sq ft increased about 60%, illustrating a structural expansion in both depth and pricing.
  • Going into 2026, the data point to a high‑liquidity but more selective market: off‑plan remains dominant, yet completed assets with strong end‑user demand and sustainable yields are increasingly favoured, and performance is expected to diverge by micro‑location and by how well each project can compete against the large 2027–2028 delivery wave.

Sales reached a record-breaking AED 519 billion, a huge 37% increase from the previous year. This surge was driven by high demand exceeding available supply, which led to price growth and reinforced Dubai’s status as a leading global real estate market.

In August of the same 2022 year, Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani’s company, Reliance Industries, bought an $80 million (Dh294 million) beachfront villa in Dubai, the city’s largest residential real estate deal ever.

The company bought the property, located on Palm Jumeirah, for Ambani’s younger son, Anant.

It’s a 10-bedroomed, custom-built villa on Palm Jumeirah. This enormous contemporary white villa features a huge 33,000 sq.ft. of state-of-the-art living space, seven-star spa hotel facilities, (including a gym and a hair salon), imported and handpicked book-matched Italian marble, all furnished by uber-lux Italian furniture houses Giorgetti and Minotti.

THE MARBLE PALACE, EMIRATES HILLS
– AED 425 MILLION

Originally listed for Dh750 million, The Marble Palace covers 60,000 square feet of interior space on a 70,000 square-foot plot in one of Dubai’s most exclusive gated communities.

The property has 5 bedrooms, an indoor and outdoor swimming pool, two domes, a 70,000-liter coral reef aquarium, a private substation for power supply, and fortified emergency rooms. A garage capable of housing 15 luxury vehicles complements the estate’s exclusivity.

The construction of The Marble Palace took nearly 12 years, concluding in 2018, with an estimated Dh 80 million to 100 million invested in Italian stonework alone. Its interiors feature 70,000 gold-leaf sheets and an array of rare artifacts.
