Dubai Home-Sales Surge Amid Record Population Growth: In-Depth Market Outlook

📈 Unprecedented Residential Demand

In 2024–25, Dubai’s residential property sales soared — concluding Q1 2025 with 42,274 transactions, a 23% year-on-year increase. Overall, property sales volume approached US $31 billion, underpinned by a 73,000-unit housing development pipeline planned for 2025.

Key Demand Drivers

• Population boom: Dubai’s population now surpasses 5 million, requiring an additional 300,000 homes by 2028.
• Economic & residency incentives: Tax-free policy and long‑term visas have attracted high-net-worth expatriates.
• Luxury villa deficit: Despite 9,000 villas delivered in 2024 and another 19,700 scheduled for 2025, ultra‑luxury demand still outpaces supply. Momentum and Segment Strength

Villas & Branded Residences

• Luxury villa prices in areas like Palm Jumeirah saw a ~20% H2 price surge.
• Premium “branded” high-rise residences are trading at up to 69% premiums over standard builds.

Mid‑Market & Affordable Housing

• Supply expansion includes mass‑market mid‑segment projects to meet demand beyond the luxury segment. Booking growth estimated at 10–15%.
• Dubai’s strategy to add 73,000 homes in 2025 includes mid-tier offerings.
