The Dubai real estate sector has maintained its upward trend, with new data indicating a 35.5 percent growth in property transactions through 2024, according to a new Betterhomes research.
According to recent market estimates, the off-plan market will continue to drive expansion until early 2025.
The first two months of 2024 and 2025 show significant shifts in investor demographics.
Mexican investors make a strong entry into Dubai’s real estate market, capturing an 11% share in early 2025.
Indian buyers have strengthened their position as the major investor group, increasing their market share from 19% to 28%.
Perhaps most striking is the rise of Mexican investors, who were absent in early 2024 numbers but now account for 11% of transactions in 2025. This is a substantial foray from the Latin American market into Dubai’s real estate sector.
Pakistani investors have maintained a consistent presence, with a little increase from 10% to 11% of total transactions.
Furthermore, the data shows that the investor pool is becoming more diverse. Buyers from Jordan, Canada, Lebanon, Morocco, Egypt, Austria, the United Kingdom, Albania, and Italy now account for 6% of transactions, indicating a larger worldwide interest in Dubai’s real estate market.
Several factors continue to draw investors to off-plan properties, including attractive price structures, flexible payment schedules, and the possibility of capital appreciation.
Signature developments such as Emaar’s The Valley, Dubai Creek Harbour, and Sobha One continue to be in high demand, with certain stages selling out quickly after debut.
Market analysts point out that Dubai’s investor-friendly rules, key geographic location, and infrastructure continue to attract international purchasers.
As 2025 approaches, the off-plan segment is expected to remain an appealing alternative for investors looking for long-term profits in Dubai’s real estate market.
