Dubai’s residential property prices, which have seen significant growth in recent years, are anticipated to moderate in 2025, with a projected increase of 5–10 per cent. Industry leaders attribute this to sustained demand, especially for off-plan developments and affordable housing, alongside ongoing interest in luxury properties.
While global factors like fluctuating interest rates may influence market sentiment, Dubai’s robust infrastructure and investor-friendly policies are expected to attract residents and high-net-worth individuals. The emirate’s ability to balance rapid growth with stability-focused strategies ensures long-term value creation.
“Residential prices are set to rise moderately, supported by the high demand for off-plan properties,” said Farooq Syed, CEO of Springfield Properties. Industry insiders foresee continued growth in 2025, though supply constraints in prime areas may persist. Developers are ramping up efforts to address this demand, focusing on sustainable and mid-range housing options.
Dubai’s appeal is reinforced by its rising population and global reputation as a professional hub. Iconic luxury projects, such as Palm Jumeirah residences, remain popular with affluent buyers, while affordable and flexible payment plans drive competitiveness in high-demand locations like Downtown and Marina.
“Dubai’s real estate growth reflects investor confidence, supported by strategic reforms and economic diversification,” said Akshay Nagdev, Managing Partner at Foremen Fiefdom. The market’s resilience was evident in 2024, with property prices rising 41 per cent in the first half.
Analysts predict population growth to 7.8 million by 2040 will fuel further demand for residential properties, particularly in the off-plan segment. With innovation and sustainability as core priorities, Dubai’s real estate market is poised to set new global standards for living and investment.
