Dubai’s residential property market is marked by dynamic trends driven by shifting buyer preferences and economic factors. In the first half of 2025, Dubai saw approximately 87,900 new residential units launched, predominantly apartments (86% share), highlighting ongoing demand for these property types. However, villas and townhouses are gaining traction for buyers seeking larger family homes.
Price appreciation remains strong—villa prices have increased 29% year-on-year in some premium submarkets, while apartments have grown by approximately 20%. Off-plan sales dominate, accounting for over two-thirds of transactions, with developers offering innovative payment plans and flexible ownership to boost accessibility.
Smart community living, sustainability, and lifestyle amenities are also forefront, as buyers increasingly desire convenient, tech-enabled homes close to green spaces and leisure options. Rental yields are great, particularly for studio and one-bedroom apartments, making them a popular choice for investors.
Dubai’s position as a global business hub and continuous government support fuel a sustained upward trajectory. The Apex Asset team is ready to help you find the perfect home or investment that balances lifestyle and growth potential.
