Elite Merit Real Estate released its top 5 trends expected to shape Dubai’s real estate landscape in the coming year…
Rental market surge
Rental prices are expected to rise significantly, with forecasts predicting an average increase of 18% in short-term rentals and over 13% in long-term leases. The influx of foreign professionals and rising real estate prices are to blame for this increase.
Luxury real estate on the rise
With property prices increasing almost 20% in prime areas like Palm Jumeirah and Emirates Hills, luxury real estate is thriving. To satisfy the increasing demand, developers plan to finish about 9,000 luxury villas by the end of 2024, with an additional 19,700 scheduled for 2025. These properties continue to attract global investors.
Technology and sustainability impact
The buyer experience is improved by Dubai’s real estate market’s integration of cutting-edge PropTech solutions, such as blockchain, for smooth transactions and AI-driven property management systems. Sustainability is still a significant concern, and projects are being developed emphasizing green communities, solar energy integration, and eco-friendly architectural designs.
Economic growth and investor confidence
The UAE Central Bank has projected a 6.2% GDP growth for the country in 2025, driven by real estate and related sectors. Dubai remains attractive to foreign investors because, despite growing real estate costs, it is still reasonably priced compared to other major cities like New York and London.
