According to an industry survey, investors in Dubai real estate made record profits from the resale market last year, totaling $16.33 billion (AED 60 billion).
According to the fäm Properties report, this accounted for 32% of the city’s record-breaking overall resale value of AED 188.1 billion last year.
According to the research, DXBinteract data from 136 locations throughout the emirate showed that Palm Jumeirah had the most capital gain, AED 6.48 billion.
The top 10 for annual capital gain also included well-known residential neighborhoods including Business Bay, Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina, and Dubai Hills Estate.
The significant financial gains realized by investors highlight the market’s dynamism and the efficacy of the regulatory system, according to Firas Al Msaddi, CEO of fäm Properties.
“Our expectation is that these profits will encourage reinvestment and attract new capital, as investors recognise the long-term resilience and potential of our market,” he said.
According to the research, record total resale figures for 2024—up 21% in value and 14% in volume—reflected investors drawn to high rental yields, buyers moving to ready-made homes, and infrastructural improvements making properties more appealing.
