Dubai’s property market has made a strong recovery from the slowdown caused by the pandemic, supported by government initiatives such as residency permits for retirees and remote workers, as well as the expansion of the 10-year golden visa program.
In the third quarter, Dubai’s residential market saw its most significant quarterly price increase in a decade, driven by high property demand in Dubai, as reported by property consultancy ValuStrat.
The ValuStrat Price Index (VPI) for Dubai’s residential market increased by 6.1 percent in the third quarter, with villa and apartment prices rising by 7.6 percent and 4.8 percent, respectively.
These positive trends in the property market coincide with Dubai’s strong economic growth. Emirates NBD forecasts a 3.5 percent growth in Dubai’s economy for 2023, following a 4.4 percent expansion in the previous year.
Dubai has retained its position as the world’s leading destination for attracting greenfield foreign direct investment (FDI) projects in the first half of this year, solidifying its status as a global FDI hub despite global economic challenges.
