Dubai’s real estate industry expanded significantly in 2023. AED 300 billion was sold in total, a 44.7% rise in real estate transactions over the previous year, according to the Dubai Land Department. Due to a shortage of supply and strong demand, the residential sector saw significant increases in both sales and rental prices.

”’Visa reforms:”’ Granting expatriates long-term and retirement visas is anticipated to draw in more foreign residents and investors.

”’Projects related to infrastructure:”’ The Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan aims to enhance the city’s infrastructure to increase its appeal to real estate investors.

”’Commercial Patterns”’

• ”’Sustainability:”’ Developers are increasingly focusing on eco-friendly building practices.
• ”’Luxury Segment:”’ High-net-worth individuals are expected to drive growth in the luxury real estate market.

”’Forecasts for 2024”’

”’Price Stability:”’ Typical residential property prices are anticipated to increase by 3-5%, stabilizing on a mild upward trend.

”’Rental Market:”’ A 5-7% increase in rent is expected, particularly in Downtown Dubai and Dubai Marina, indicating continued robustness in the rental market.

A rise in foreign investment is anticipated, primarily from European and Asian markets, supported by government policies and economic stability.
