Dubai’s Property Market Is Picking Up Again

Dubai’s residential property market is showing signs of a comeback, with buyers returning and the ready market leading the latest growth. According to Property Finder and Mortgage Finder, 9,217 residential transactions worth AED 34.9 billion were recorded in July, up 3.8% in volume and 5.2% in value from June.

The biggest jump came from the secondary, or ready, market, where transactions rose by around 18%, suggesting stronger demand for properties buyers can move into or invest in immediately.

Apartments vs. villas

The data also reveals a clear divide between Dubai’s apartment and villa buyers. Around 68% of villa sales were mortgaged, compared to just 20% of apartment sales. This points to stronger owner-occupier demand for villas, while apartments continue to attract more cash-heavy investors.

Buyer confidence is also returning. 68% of home seekers now plan to buy within six months, while the share expecting prices to fall further has dropped to 52%, down from a post-conflict peak of 73%.

Sellers are holding their ground too, with asking prices remaining relatively stable for a second consecutive month. Overall, July points to a market finding its balance again, with buyers returning, sellers becoming more confident and Dubai’s residential sector moving back into growth.
