Dubai property market sees sustained growth in 2023
“It’s exciting to witness the continuous growth in the Dubai market volumes, which align with the anticipated population expansion. It’s also reassuring to observe that the market in the first half of this year has matured, with sales values increasing at a more moderate pace – predicting around a seven percent average price growth for 2024. This further indicates that we are experiencing stable, steady growth for the foreseeable future,” said Simon Baker, Managing Director of haus & haus Real Estate.
May recorded the highest sales transactions ever, with volumes increasing by 47.7 percent month-on-month and 45.9 percent year-on-year, according to haus & haus citing the Property Monitor report.
This peak coincided with haus & haus’ own data, marking their best performing month as well.
However, some transactions were possibly carried over from April due to flooding in Dubai delaying completion dates into May.
