Dubai Real Estate Update — March 2025

March 2025 showed another strong month for the Dubai real estate market. The growing interest in emerging neighborhoods such as Dubai South and JVC is remarkable.

Investors are massively opting for new construction projects

The real estate market in Dubai remains attractive for both private buyers and international investors. In March 2025, 58% of the total transaction value came from the off-plan segment — i.e. real estate that is still under construction. Apartments, in particular, remain by far the most popular.

Of the AED 19.55 billion (€4.89 billion) spent on off-plan projects, as much as 79% went to apartments. Villas accounted for 17.3% and commercial projects accounted for just 3.6%. These figures underline the preference for residential real estate with growth potential.

Why do investors choose off-plan?

New construction often offers better conditions, such as staggered payments, lower entry prices and strong value growth potential. Investors are increasingly willing to wait for delivery, as long as the return perspective remains attractive.

However, the segment of ready-to-move-in homes also remains firmly afloat. Ready-properties accounted for AED 14.14 billion (€3.54 billion) in March, particularly popular with end users who want to move quickly or rent out directly.

New hotspots on the rise

March's most popular off-plan locations show an interesting shift. Where traditional investments have mainly been made in Downtown and Dubai Marina, we now see that affordable and strategically located neighborhoods are gaining ground. The top 5:

  1. Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC) — 924 transactions
  2. Business Bay — 707 transactions
  3. Dubai South (Madinat Al Mataar) — 589 transactions
  4. Dubai Production City — 481 transactions
  5. Motor City — 399 transactions

Dubai South, in particular, stands out. This district benefits from the expected growth around the future largest airport in the world and is attracting more and more visionary investors.

Finally, reliable and independent advice when buying property in the United Arab Emirates. Advice and sales from various parties, so really independent.

No fake ads from brokers, hidden commissions, incentives from developers who pay the highest commission to the selling agent, but really independent.

Faced with several unanswered questions about my property in the UAE, I turned to GREM for advice. The support was immediate and impressive: within a short time, I was presented with a report that covered many angles — some of which I had not thought of myself. The report answered the questions I had in a concise manner. Communication was clear and fast and GREM made sure to get in touch to see if I had any further questions and if any further help was needed. She was highly professional without being distant and her genuine involvement and personal approach was much appreciated. I would recommend her to anyone with future properties in the UAE.

GREM really helped us with our first off-plan purchase in Dubai. Because we had little knowledge of the process, it was great to be fully guided from A to Z. From the first introductory meeting, we noticed that they did not just want to sell something, but really took the time to properly identify our needs and situation. In addition, their expertise is extra valuable in light of the changing Box 3 regulations in the Netherlands. Definitely recommended!
