Dubai’s Residential Property Market Sees 23% Growth in H1 2025 as Stability and Global Demand Drive Long-Term Momentum
Dubai’s residential real estate market continued its upward trajectory in the first half of 2025, recording 91,897 transactions, marking a 23% year-on-year increase. The growth was fueled by a strong mix of off-plan and ready property sales, reflecting ongoing confidence from both local and international buyers.
Off-plan transactions accounted for 59% of total activity, underscoring investor appetite for new developments and flexible payment plans. Meanwhile, the delivery of 17,013 completed units during the period has contributed to a moderation in rental price growth, offering much-needed relief to tenants and signaling a more balanced supply-demand dynamic.
In terms of asset performance, villas and townhouses continued to outpace other property types, with an impressive average price increase of 19%. Apartments followed with a more modest but stable 8% price rise, indicating sustained demand across different market segments.
One of the notable drivers of market activity has been the influx of ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs) from the United Kingdom, many of whom are relocating to Dubai in response to changes in the UK’s non-domiciled tax status. This shift is contributing to the ongoing internationalization of Dubai’s property market, further supported by investor interest from Europe, Asia, and the wider Middle East.
Overall, the market is showing clear signs of stabilization and maturity, with steady price appreciation, increased handovers, and growing global attention. These trends support the view that Dubai is transitioning from a speculative boom-and-bust cycle to a more sustainable and growth-driven market environment, positioning itself as a leading global hub for real estate investment and lifestyle migration.
