Investors who hesitated during predicted slowdowns in Dubai’s real estate sector missed significant opportunities as the market entered new phases of growth and development, a property expert said today.
For those now seeking the best returns, Dubai’s real estate landscape is on course to break new records in 2025. Experts advise focusing on well-planned, high-quality developments, as these continue to sell out quickly, a clear indication of genuine, sustained demand.
“Bidding on reports of a slowing market has resulted in massive opportunity being lost for those who fell for it,” said Firas Al Msaddi, CEO of fäm Properties.
“Dubai has bounced back stronger and faster than any other city globally since the 2009 financial crisis and the COVID pandemic, showcasing the city’s resilience.
“While growth has naturally slowed compared to the record pace of 2021–2022, this reflects a healthy, sustainable market rather than a loss of momentum.
Msaddi elaborated: “The first eight months of this year have seen off-plan sales rise by 25%, and resale by 13%, which is a rock-solid indication of a market that remains firmly on an upward trend.”
“Where people often go wrong is by investing in poorly designed developments, whether a luxury villa or a tower. Not surprisingly, such projects do not sell quickly. In contrast, well-thought-out developments sell out within months, reflecting genuine demand and a rational market.”
Currently, Dubai’s investor and buyer base is more diverse than ever, with strong interest coming from India, China, the EU, and across the Middle East. “This broadens the market’s foundation and reduces reliance on any single nationality, strengthening long-term stability,” says Al Msaddi.
The growth in Dubai’s population past the 4 million milestone is another key aspect fueling demand this year. Key factors boosting this growth include:
• Regional investment
• The global strength of the Dubai brand
• Branded residences that appeal to millionaires and billionaires
• Institutional investors impressed with Dubai’s transparency in market data
• An influx of foreign real estate developers bringing loyal clients from their home markets
New real estate milestones reached throughout 2024 culminated in an all-time peak of 180,900 transactions worth AED 522.1 billion last year.However, data from DXBinteract shows that sales to the end of August were up by 33.9% in value to AED445 billion year on year, with a 21.8% increase in deal volume.
“Dubai does not settle and does not sleep,” says Al Msaddi. “The city’s global branding and marketing strategies have set a benchmark model worldwide. These promotional efforts, combined with ongoing population growth, underpin sustained demand.
“With 2025 expected to surpass last year’s record real estate sales, we are clearly witnessing sustainable, long-term growth.”
