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 down. 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:
- Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC) — 924 transactions
- Business Bay — 707 transactions
- Dubai South (Madinat Al Mataar) — 589 transactions
- Dubai Production City — 481 transactions
- 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.

Fitch: “Property prices in parts of Dubai may fall due to expected oversupply in 2025—2026"
The Dubai real estate market will be under pressure in 2025 due to a rapidly increasing supply of housing that exceeds demand, with prices possibly falling by up to 15% according to Fitch Ratings (2025). In particular, neighborhoods such as Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC), where 25,000 new units are planned, are at risk of vacancy, price pressure and deteriorated quality of life. Investing in proven neighborhoods with stable rental demand and good infrastructure is therefore crucial to protect returns.
