Dubai Prime Real Estate Outpaces Global Markets in 2025 — Recording Growth Levels that Established Hubs like London & New York

A Market on the Rise

In the first half of 2025, Dubai’s prime residential capital values rose over 5%, according to Savills, with a further 4–5.9% growth forecast by year-end. This performance cements Dubai’s reputation as one of the most resilient and forward-moving real estate markets worldwide.

Investors Reap Rental Rewards

Rental yields remain a cornerstone of Dubai’s investment story. Prime rental values grew 2.9% in six months and surged 13.3% year-on-year through June — underlining the city’s powerful combination of capital appreciation and income returns.

Ultra-Prime Demand Surges

The appetite for ultra-luxury property is stronger than ever. In just six months, Dubai recorded 2,268 deals above AED 15 million — already 87% of 2024’s full-year total. Trophy assets are becoming increasingly scarce, fueling a sense of urgency among global high-net-worth investors.

Supply on the Horizon

Looking ahead, a substantial supply pipeline is expected. 73,000 new homes are scheduled for delivery in 2025, contributing to a wider pipeline of 210,000 units by 2026. Analysts at Fitch caution that this could create downward pressure, with potential price corrections of up to 15%. For strategic buyers, this is a crucial window to secure prime assets before the market recalibrates.

Dubai’s Affordability Advantage

Despite its rapid appreciation, Dubai remains more affordable per square foot than global peers like London or New York. This unique positioning — luxury lifestyle at accessible global pricing — continues to attract international buyers seeking both value and prestige.
