The city plans 73,000 new homes in 2025, part of a 300,000-unit rollout by 2028, aligning with a strategy to meet growing demand amid ongoing market growth.

Dubai’s population is forecast to grow to 5.8 million by 2040 (up from 3.3 million today), a 2.7% annual rate. It will require around 87,700 additional homes to meet demand.

Off‑plan makes up ~56% of sales in Q1 2025, growing 24% from 2024. Off‑plan sales reached near-record highs, led by developer incentives and long-term investor confidence.

Despite a potential soft correction in late 2025 due to new supply, Dubai remains one of the most resilient and opportunity-rich property markets globally. Factors like strong population growth, continued infrastructure investment, high rental yields (averaging 6–8%) and investor-friendly regulations (including Golden Visas and 100% foreign ownership) all make it an attractive option for both end-users and international investors looking for lifestyle and long-term capital appreciation.

The plan emphasises green spaces, smart cities, pedestrian mobility, and a goal of reserving over 60% of land for parks and nature—boosting lifestyle-driven residential demand across all areas, including Tilal Al Ghaf.

Luxury villas surge: prime villa prices jumped 60% m/m in February 2025, pushing averages to about AED 11.5 million. Villas outperform apartments in both sales & rental growth.

Rapid development is causing strain—congestion is rising 10%, rents up 20%. Dubai is responding with remote work policies, metro expansion (including a 30 km Blue Line), and pedestrian/cyclist alternatives.

Yes, absolutely.  Dubai remains one of the most open and secure global markets for real estate investment, with strong legal protections and a highly transparent transaction process.

No. Dubai is a tax-free environment for personal income, making it especially attractive to UK professionals and entrepreneurs. However, VAT (5%) applies to goods and services, and there are corporate taxes in certain sectors.

Yes, but only temporarily. UK licence holders must convert to a UAE driving licence after obtaining residency. No test is required for UK citizens—just paperwork and a vision check.

Bring essentials you rely on daily—clothing, tech, key documents. Furniture, electronics, and home goods are widely available here. Avoid shipping unnecessary items as most homes come well equipped.

Expats must have private health insurance (usually covered by employers). Dubai has world-class private hospitals and clinics, and emergency care is available to all residents.

Dubai can be more affordable without income tax, but rent, school fees, and private healthcare can be higher. Groceries and utilities are similar or often cheaper. Lifestyle costs vary by area (e.g. Marina vs Tilal Al Ghaf) but overall Dubai is typically cheaper.

Summers can hit 45–50°C (113–122°F), but life continues thanks to widespread air conditioning, indoor venues, and early/late outdoor activities. Many families take summer trips abroad, especially from June to August.
