Dubai’s residential real estate market once again reached record levels in Q2 2025, underpinned by the city’s sustained global appeal. Positive momentum continues to be driven by an influx of high-net-worth individuals and anticipated population growth.

Demand remains strong, with consistent value appreciation across the residential sector. Dubai’s tax-free ecosystem, ease of securing mortgages, comparatively lower property ownership costs versus other global gateway cities, and rising rents — a growing challenge for tenants — are all fueling a clear shift toward homeownership among expatriates, while maintaining the city’s strong appeal for investors. Q2 broke the 50,000 threshold for transaction volumes marking an all-time quarterly record and a robust 21% y-o-y increase, underscoring the emirate’s continued ability to hit a sweet spot between investment potential and quality of life.
