According to the latest official figures, the total value of the <strong>property transactions<\/strong> has reached <strong>37.7 billion dollars (\u2248 138.5 billion AED)<\/strong>, confirming the city\u2019s strength and appeal to local and international investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This performance follows on from an already exceptional first half of the year, driven by a <strong>continuous growth in residential demand<\/strong>, some <strong>rising prices<\/strong> and a <strong>a steady stream of foreign investors<\/strong> seeking to safeguard their capital in a stable economic environment that offers favourable tax conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The top-selling flats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The segment of <strong>flats<\/strong> remains the main driver of this growth. Their share of the overall transaction volume continues to rise, supported by the <strong>rental demand<\/strong>, the <strong>flexible payment plans<\/strong> and the variety of products available on the <strong>off-plan<\/strong> (projects under construction).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most active areas include <strong>Business Bay, Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, Jumeirah Village Circle and Dubai Creek Harbour<\/strong>, which account for a large proportion of sales. These neighbourhoods attract just as many <strong>long-term residents<\/strong> that the <strong>investors seeking returns<\/strong>, with rental yields ranging from <strong>6 and 9 %<\/strong> depending on the type of property and its location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>villas and townhouses<\/strong>, although they account for a smaller share of the volume, continue to perform strongly, particularly in premium communities such as <strong>Dubai Hills Estate, Arabian Ranches and Palm Jumeirah<\/strong>, where prices regularly reach record highs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Some of the highest rental yields in the world<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of Dubai\u2019s main attractions remains the <strong>rental yield<\/strong>, significantly higher than that seen in Western markets. Whilst major European capitals are struggling to exceed a gross yield of 3 %, Dubai is posting rates <strong>averages of 7 to 8 %<\/strong>, or even <strong>up to 10 %<\/strong> in certain up-and-coming neighbourhoods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This performance is attracting more and more foreign investors, particularly from <strong>France, the United Kingdom, India, Russia and South Africa<\/strong>. The absence of income tax, the stability of the dirham \u2013 which is pegged to the US dollar \u2013 and the <strong>greater transparency in the property market<\/strong> further boost the confidence of international buyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The market for <strong>off-plan<\/strong> (off-plan purchases) play a key role in this trend, accounting for nearly <strong>60 % transactions<\/strong> in the third quarter of 2025. Major developers \u2014 such as Emaar, Sobha, DAMAC and Azizi \u2014 continue to launch <strong>new residential and mixed-use developments<\/strong>, meeting the growing demand for modern, sustainable and connected homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A favourable economic and demographic environment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The health of the property market also reflects the <strong>Dubai\u2019s economic vitality<\/strong>, whose GDP grew by <strong>3.9 1Q3Q in the first quarter of 2025<\/strong>, according to official figures. The non-oil sector, which is driving this growth, directly supports the property market through job creation, the growth of tourism and the influx of high-income expatriates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>population of Dubai<\/strong> has passed the milestone of <strong>4 million inhabitants by 2025<\/strong>, an all-time high. This rapid population growth is driving structural demand for housing, offices and infrastructure, providing a solid foundation for continued property development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Public policies, such as <strong>long-stay visas (Golden Visa, Blue Visa)<\/strong> and the <strong>liberalisation of the foreign investment market<\/strong>, further reinforce this trend by making it easier for investors and their families to settle here on a long-term basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The outlook for 2026 remains positive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Analysts predict that Dubai\u2019s property market will continue its upward trend in 2026, driven by a number of converging factors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Some <strong>stable interest rates<\/strong>, and ensuring access to finance,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A <strong>strong rental demand<\/strong> due to the arrival of new residents,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The\u2019<strong>launch of new landmark projects<\/strong>, particularly on the Dubai Islands and in Expo City,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And one <strong>clear political will<\/strong> to maintain an environment that is favourable to investors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Government initiatives focused on sustainability and smart cities are also expected to <strong>boost long-term value<\/strong> property, particularly that incorporating green technologies and energy-efficiency solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion: a market stronger than ever<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With <strong>$37.7 billion in transactions in the third quarter of 2025<\/strong>, Dubai is once again proving its <strong>resilience and its international appeal<\/strong>. Against a global backdrop of economic uncertainty, the emirate is emerging as a <strong>a safe haven for property investors<\/strong>, offering security, returns and opportunities for growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The outlook remains positive, underpinned by steady demand, a robust economic environment and a forward-looking urban vision. For both buyers and developers, <strong>The property market in Dubai has never looked so promising<\/strong> \u2014 and the 2025 records could well be broken as early as next year.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Un troisi\u00e8me trimestre 2025 historique Le march\u00e9 immobilier de Duba\u00ef poursuit sa trajectoire ascendante avec des r\u00e9sultats impressionnants au troisi\u00e8me trimestre 2025.
