In recent years, the Dubai real estate market has grown remarkably and has shown to be quite resilient. The residential real estate market in Dubai saw a tremendous upswing in the first half of 2023, producing astonishing sales revenue of around $28 billion (AED 93.18 billion). This is a remarkable 46.71% rise from last year's figure. Particularly, the overall amount of units supplied during this time period increased significantly by 35.25%, coming to 46,835 units. The value of sales increased by about 30% in the commercial real estate market, which also showed strong growth.
The overall price of living has increased as a result of the jump in popularity, with average residential prices in Dubai rising by 12.8% from March 2022 to March 2023. Over the same duration, the average price of an apartment rose by 12.4%, while the average price of a villa rose by 14.8%.
The "Dubai's Branded Residential Market - 2023" report by Knight Frank, which highlights an aggregate of AED25.4bn in revenue produced from its identified homes with an estimation of 2,000 more units to be provided in 2023, sheds light on another reason why the city's property sector has been flourishing.
The market for property in Dubai has grown as a result of many causes. The emirate's robust economy, investor-friendly regulations, and alluring attributes, like a liberal visa policy, good living standards, and a stable economy, have all been crucial. The attraction of real estate investments has also been increased by Dubai's ongoing expansion and charging infrastructure, which has led to a rising return on investment (ROI) and rental yields. High-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) continue to find Dubai to be a lucrative place to make investments, which has caused a massive influx of them in recent years.
