Dubai Real Estate Market to Stabilize in 2025 with Record Supply and Slowing Rent Hikes

171% Surge with 72,365 New Units and Slowing Rent Growth

Dubai’s real estate market is set for a balanced 2025, with rent increases slowing due to a record-breaking 72,365 new residential units, up 171% from 2024, according to Betterhomes. The influx of properties, along with the implementation of the Smart Rental Index, is expected to stabilize prices and create a sustainable rental environment.

In 2024, 27,000 units were delivered, with apartments making up 77%, townhouses 17%, and villas 6%. Prominent areas like Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC), Mohammed Bin Rashid City, and Business Bay emerged as hotspots for investors and residents.

By 2026, Dubai will see 163,000 new housing units, ensuring market stability despite minor price adjustments. Strategic infrastructure investments and robust demand from global investors reinforce Dubai’s status as a premier real estate hub.

Additionally, to avoid market overheating, UAE banks will no longer finance Dubai Land Department (DLD) fees or brokerage fees for mortgages, focusing solely on property values.

With over 470 projects launched in 2024 and 9,000 units scheduled for handover in Q1 2025, Dubai’s property market remains a dynamic and appealing investment destination.
