DUBAI REAL ESTATE MARKET TO SEE 61,580 NEW HOMES DELIVERED IN 2025

Dubai’s real estate market is on track for substantial growth in 2025, with 61,580 new homes projected, fueled by a population increase of nearly 90,000 in the first quarter alone. ValuStrat reports that apartment prices climbed 21.4%, while villa prices surged 30.3% year-on-year. Rental rates have also seen significant growth, making affordable housing increasingly scarce despite a growing supply—19% of which was delivered in Q1. The widening gap between supply and demand may lead to market adjustments, particularly as mortgage activity continues to slow. Meanwhile, the commercial sector remains strong, with office capital values up 29.1% and rents increasing 20.2%, underpinned by sustained economic momentum. Developers are ramping up construction to meet demand, yet delivery timelines remain a challenge. Investor confidence remains high, particularly in premium residential and commercial segments.
