Dubai’s real estate market continues its strong momentum in 2026, with property prices rising approximately 15% year-on-year following a record 270,000 transactions in 2025.
The average price has reached AED 1,609 per square foot, reflecting sustained demand from both local and international investors.
Developers are preparing to deliver nearly 90,000 new residential units over the next two years, including around 48,000 units in 2026. While supply is increasing, demand remains strong due to population growth, economic expansion, and foreign investment inflows.
Villa communities such as Victory Heights, The Lakes, and Jumeirah Islands have seen price growth of up to 35%, highlighting strong demand for premium family living.
For investors, 2026 presents a strategic opportunity: focus on prime locations, infrastructure-connected communities, and long-term value rather than short-term speculation.
