Why Volume & Value Are Climbing Together
More high-value stock: The launch of premium developments and trophy assets drive up totals.
Buyer diversification: Both domestic and global investors are fueling off-plan and secondary markets.
Infrastructure boosts supply: New metro lines, highways, and airport expansion support suburban appeal.
Stable policy backbone: Visa-linked property, escrow protection, and mortgage reforms add long-term certainty.

What This Means for Buyers & Investors

Buyers
You’ll find an abundance of new and ready properties across luxury and mid-market segments. Areas like JVC and Business Bay are offering excellent options, while trophy assets in Palm Jumeirah provide ultra-luxury appeal.
Investors
Strong resale market demand (up 46% YoY) and high off-plan interest (up 25% YoY) validate yields. Apartments especially continue to outperform, driven by global and domestic investor uptake.
Sellers
Rising demand across segments means this is an ideal period to list, especially in high-performing neighbourhoods noted above.


Strategic Moves for 2025
Focus on micro-locations: Positions like JVC, Business Bay, and Me’Aisem Second are showing strong performance.
Champion apartments + villas combo: Diversify portfolios with both high-yield apartments and capital-appreciating villas.
Explore trophy asset potential: Ultra-premium assets in Palm Jumeirah or Emirates Hills remain long-term value plays.
Monitor plot markets: Land sales are rising—ideal for developers and investors in master-plans.
