Average Dubai property prices rise 3% quarter on quarter
Average property prices in Dubai climbed to Dh1,582 per square foot in the first half of 2025, data showed. According to the latest report from Betterhomes, Shaping Skylines | Q2 2025 Dubai Residential Real Estate Market, this represents a 6 per cent increase compared to the second half of 2024 and a 3 per cent rise quarter-on-quarter from Q1 2025. Prices now stand 18 per cent higher than in Q1 2024 and a notable 90 per cent above the pandemic-era lows of Dh833. Dubai's real estate sector continues its record-breaking trajectory in 2025, confirming the city's growing global real estate stature. With a growing population, investor-friendly policies, and a development pipeline that continues to deliver, Dubai is well-positioned for sustained growth in the years ahead, analysts say. Total residential sales in Dubai reached Dh151.8 billion in the first half of 2025, marking a 46 per cent year-on-year increase in value. Transaction volumes saw a 25 per cent uptick, with 50,485 units sold. Compared to the previous quarter, the market grew by 33 per cent in value and 19 per cent in volume, demonstrating sustained momentum building on Q1's performance. The prime market witnessed 1,417 transactions, marking a 67 per cent quarter-on-quarter increase from 851 deals in Q1. On an annual basis, activity has more than doubled, reflecting a remarkable 113 per cent year-on-year growth, underscoring the booming appetite for ultra-luxury real estate in Dubai. Supply growth remains strong, signalling ongoing developer confidence. Over 20,000 new units were delivered in the first half of 2025, with another 70,000 expected in the second half of the year. Looking further ahead, more than 200,000 additional units are in the pipeline through 2027. JVC led completions with 20 per cent. Christopher Cina, Director of Sales at Betterhomes, said: 'With approximately 20,000 new units delivered in the first half of 2025 and a further 70,000 expected by year-end, Q3 is shaping up to be an exciting phase for Dubai's property market. This upcoming supply is well-aligned with the city's growing population and strong investor appetite. Demand remains robust, particularly for apartments and ready villas, with healthy absorption of new launches. Both Q3 and the second half of 2025 are expected to reflect positive market sentiment, supported by a resilient economy, sustained end-user demand, and attractive rental yields.' Betterhomes data showed investor activity picked up in Q2 2025, accounting for 58 per cent of transactions, up from 50 per cent in Q1. End-user activity dropped to 42 per cent, as investors returned for rental yields and capital gains, reversing the more balanced split seen earlier this year. A significant shift in financing trends was witnessed in Q2. The market moved notably toward cash purchases, with cash transactions rising to 52 per cent in Q2 2025, up from 42 per cent in Q1. Mortgage-backed deals declined to 48 per cent, signalling a more liquid buyer pool led by high-net-worth individuals, international investors, and buyers seeking quicker closings. The UK now leads buyer activity, overtaking India with a 56 per cent jump this quarter. India and Pakistan maintained strong positions at second and third, respectively, while Poland entered the top five. Russia slipped out of the top 10 for the first time in years, making space for Ireland at sixth.

UAE navigates global tariff storm with oil stability and fiscal strength
As global markets brace for a new wave of US tariffs and shifting Opec+ production strategies, the UAE appears firmly grounded, thanks to strategic oil exemptions, fiscal resilience, and a diversified economy, analysts say. With President Donald Trump reinstating a hardline trade agenda, a series of sweeping tariffs are scheduled to take effect on August 1. These include duties of up to 50 per cent on copper and significant increases on imports from Brazil, Japan, South Korea, and 14 other nations. Analysts fear escalating trade tensions could disrupt global supply chains and stoke inflationary pressure across import-heavy economies. Yet amid this volatility, the UAE stands out as an outlier. According to Razan Hilal, Market Analyst, CMT at 'While global headlines focus on tariff escalation, the exemption of crude oil from US tariffs protects a key revenue stream for the UAE.' This safeguard ensures that the UAE's vital energy sector remains insulated from a major external shock, allowing the country to maintain stable export flows at a time when volatility is the global norm. Concurrently, the latest developments within Opec+ may play in the UAE's favour. A subset of the alliance, including the UAE, has announced an unexpected increase of 548,000 barrels per day in August as part of a gradual unwind of voluntary production cuts. With Brent crude trading above $68 and WTI maintaining support above $67, Hilal sees a strong fiscal upside. 'Recovering global oil demand and rising production are set to support fiscal inflows and growth momentum,' she said. At the monetary level, currency dynamics are adding nuance to the UAE's economic outlook. Hilal highlights the precarious position of the US dollar: 'The US dollar hovers just above a 17-year trendline extending from the 2008 lows. A breakdown below this level could strain the dirham peg and amplify import-driven inflation.' That said, she notes, if the dollar index (DXY) stays above the 96-zone, the dirham may recover in H2 2025, particularly against the euro and pound. What underpins the UAE's relative calm amid these global tremors? Hilal points to a blend of strategic buffers: 'Supported by economic diversification, oil price stability, and a proactive fiscal stance, the UAE remains well-positioned to absorb external shocks and preserve currency stability.' In a global landscape dominated by tariff tension and fluctuating energy dynamics, the UAE's steady footing showcases the advantage of long-term planning and diversified resilience. As other economies scramble for clarity, the Emirates are focused on execution, Hilal noted.
