As demand is maintained by high rental yields and price increases, Dubai real estate investors are shifting to reasonably priced luxury.
With a 34% increase in transaction values in 2024, the UAE’s cheap luxury real estate market is flourishing, primarily due to off-plan projects.
With projections indicating 5-8 percent annual price rise and average rental yields of 7% in 2025, this rising trajectory appears certain to continue.

For instance, transaction prices for flats in the most desirable neighborhoods of Dubai’s luxury market increased by 26% year over year.
A further 5–10% increase in residential property prices is anticipated in 2025, indicating a maturing market that is successfully balancing supply and demand.
Rising rental yields, advantageous government regulations, and a growing desire for upscale but affordable residential options are cited by industry observers as the reasons for this momentum.
The strength and endurance of the real estate industry are further demonstrated by the more than 169,000 property sales in Dubai’s market in 2024, which were valued at AED488 billion ($133 billion).
In response, developers are setting the industry up for future growth with creative payment schemes and environmentally conscious projects.
Madhav Dhar, COO and Co-founder of ZāZEN Properties, said: “The affordable luxury segment isn’t just a passing trend; it’s a fundamental shift in Dubai’s real estate landscape. Today’s homebuyers are looking for residences that strike the perfect balance between quality, sustainability, and value.”
The UAE’s reasonably priced luxury market is expected to continue expanding in the future. According to projections, the market is expected to increase at a rate of 2.28 percent per year between 2025 and 2029, reaching an estimated value of AED 2.79 trillion ($760 billion) by the end of the decade.
Strong economic policies, investor-friendly laws, and a deliberate emphasis on urban development will all contribute to this rise.
It is anticipated that property launches would increase by 5–10% in 2025 as developers continue to accommodate this demand.
This strengthens Dubai’s standing as a leading international real estate center and is consistent with the city’s larger goal of developing affordable luxury real estate.
