Dubai’s prime residential market continued its strong momentum in 2025, marking the fifth consecutive year of growth. The emirate’s political stability, favourable business climate and tax-efficient structure remain key drivers attracting high-net-worth individuals and global talent.

Transactions above AED 10 million reached new highs this year, with nearly 6,000 deals completed by mid-November. Off-plan properties dominated activity, supported by major launches across communities such as The Oasis, Palm Jebel Ali and Eden Hills. Demand for larger, family-oriented homes also strengthened, reflecting ongoing wealth migration and the rising number of international buyers moving to Dubai.

Villas accounted for the majority of prime transactions, though prime apartments in waterfront and branded developments continued to command higher prices per sq ft. European buyers were the most active group, followed by Asian investors, highlighting Dubai’s global appeal.

Looking ahead to 2026, limited handovers of prime and super-prime homes are expected to keep pricing resilient, while sustained population growth and strong international interest continue to support long-term demand.
