Experts at D&B Properties predict a continuation of this upward trend, driven by strong buyer demand. The sector’s growth is underpinned by a combination of government initiatives, economic resilience, and significant investor interest, which are all expected to contribute to further market expansion.
Cautious Optimism for the Future
Despite the positive outlook, there’s a note of caution regarding potential shifts in the latter part of 2024, especially within the luxury real estate segment. Soliman Hossameldin, the Director of Digital Marketing at D&B Properties, emphasizes Dubai’s attractive qualities for investors, including its strategic location, world-class infrastructure, and dynamic business environment. These factors, combined with the city’s status as a global hub, ensure a continuous demand for real estate investments, offering lucrative opportunities for capital appreciation and rental yields.
Resilience and Surge in Transactions
The resilience of the UAE’s property market is notably demonstrated by its performance, especially in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Enhanced by governmental policies and sustained economic growth, the market has seen a surge in transactions, particularly in Dubai, which recorded a significant increase in new property deals. Forecasts predict a price rise of 5% to 7% in Dubai and 3% to 9% in Abu Dhabi.
Record-Breaking Year for Dubai Real Estate
The previous year marked a milestone for Dubai’s real estate sector, with 116,116 transactions totaling AED429.6 billion ($117 billion). This represented a remarkable year-over-year increase in both the number of transactions and their value, underscoring the market’s attractiveness and resilience to global investors. With investors hailing from diverse regions including India, China, the UK, Europe, CIS countries, Latin America, Mexico, and Canada, the market’s global appeal is evident. The anticipated post-pandemic recovery in China is expected to further enhance demand and investor confidence.
The Evolving UAE Property Market
As the property market in the UAE continues to evolve, stakeholders are advised to remain cautious and adaptable to changing market dynamics. Collaboration among developers, investors, and policymakers is essential to fostering sustainable growth and ensuring long-term market stability.
