Yes, prices will re-set, but that’s a healthy correction, not a collapse. 📈 Prices up roughly 20–25% over the last 18 months, driven by real demand, not speculation. 🏠 Rental yields averaging 6–8%, with some prime areas achieving up to 10%. 🌍 Population growing by over 100,000+ new residents annually, while new supply still lags behind. 🚧 Billions in new infrastructure and lifestyle developments continue to strengthen long-term value. The smart money isn’t waiting, it’s positioning early for the next growth phase. In Dubai real estate, waiting often costs more than it saves. #DubaiRealEstate #Investment #PropertyMarket #EspaceRealEstate

„The Dubai Real Estate Market Is Oversupplied!“ That’s one of the most common objections I hear — and honestly, it’s an understandable perception. After all, every day we see countless new project announcements from brokers and developers flooding our feeds. But when it comes to business decisions, feelings aren’t enough — data tells the real story. Let’s look at some recent figures from DXB Interact comparing 2024 vs 2025 👇 📈 First Sale Market — up 20% 🏘️ Resale Market — up 10% 🏗️ New Launch Supply — down 7.5% So, is there an oversupply? ➡️ The short answer: It depends on the area. Some areas of Dubai are still developing — new projects there are creating vibrant, growing communities. Other areas, however, already have a high number of similar projects, meaning that even with fewer new handovers, local oversupply can still exist. In other words, the Dubai market as a whole remains strong — but micro-markets matter more than ever. I’m curious: 👉 In your opinion, which area of Dubai is the most oversupplied right now?

Q3 2025 has been crazy for both Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Both of them delivered record-breaking numbers, showing strong demand, development and investor confidence. In Abu Dhabi,  → There were 7,154 sales worth Dh25.3 billion, a 110% jump year-on-year.  → 96% were residential deals with off-plan sales driving most of the growth.  → Projects on Fahid and Al Hidayriyyat Island contributed massively and duplex rates soared 424%. Dubai also had its strongest quarter ever:  → 59,044 transactions totaling Dh169 billion, up 17% from last year. → Off-plan activity led with 40,108 deals (68% of total volume) → Business Bay accounted for Dh7.4 billion in sales and the luxury waterfront zones combined exceeded Dh6 billion.  → Dubai’s average price/sq foot also reached peaks, up to Dh1,667 in prime areas. What makes this quarter interesting is the shift in investor behavior. Off-plan buyers are backing vision and growth, while ready property buyers are focusing on certainty, location and long-term value. For anyone tracking global real estate trends, Q3 2025 offers an exclusive snapshot of where demand, strategy and opportunity are converging in the UAE.
