TAKE NOTES!

Dubai Property Buyers Are Still Ready To Buy, Even As Many Expect Prices To Fall

7 in 10 active property seekers say they plan to buy within the next six months, according to Property Finder’s latest Market Pulse.

Dubai’s property market appears to be showing an interesting split in buyer sentiment

Despite regional tensions returning to the headlines in August, 71% of active property seekers said they plan to buy within the next 6 months, up from 68% in July. But there’s another side to that confidence: around 53% of buyers still expect property prices to fall over the next 6 months.

That’s actually a notable shift from earlier in the year. In March, 73% of buyers expected prices to decline, meaning the share expecting a drop has fallen by around 20 percentage points.

So, What Are Buyers Actually Doing?

The latest numbers suggest that expectations and behaviour aren’t moving completely in sync.

Buyers may still be anticipating some softening in prices, but a growing share are signalling that they intend to make a purchase anyway.

Meanwhile, Dubai’s median property price per square foot edged up from AED 1,271 in July to AED 1,301 in August, according to the report.

That’s a monthly increase of around 2.4%.

August Put Buyer Sentiment To The Test

The increase in buying intent came during a month when regional tensions were once again dominating the news cycle.

Property Finder surveyed 4,113 active property seekers across July and August, tracking both whether they planned to buy within 6 months and what they expected property prices to do during that period.

The result?

More buyers are saying they’re ready to enter the market, even while a majority still anticipate that prices could dip.

In other words, buyers are watching the market closely, but they’re not necessarily waiting for prices to fall before making their move.
