Dubai Real Estate Sees 35.5% Surge in Transactions, Led by Off-Plan Boom

Dubai’s property market grew 35.5% in 2024, driven by strong off-plan sales, according to Betterhomes. The trend is expected to continue into early 2025. Mexican buyers entered the scene with an 11% market share in early 2025—up from zero—while Indian investors rose from 19% to 28%. Pakistani buyers remained steady at 11%. The market is becoming more global, with growing interest from investors in Jordan, Canada, the UK, and more. Key projects like The Valley, Creek Harbour, and Sobha One remain in high demand. Experts cite flexible payment plans, capital growth potential, and investor-friendly laws as major draws. The off-plan segment is set to stay strong into 2025.
