Betterhomes Reports Dubai Residential Property Market Remains a Global Magnet in H1 2025 with Sales Surging
DUBAI, UAE, July 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Dubai's residential real estate market continues to defy global headwinds, delivering another record-breaking performance in the first half of 2025. According to the newly released Shaping Skylines Q2 2025 Dubai Residential Real Estate Market Report by Betterhomes, total residential sales reached AED 151.8 billion, a 46% year-on-year increase in value and a 25% rise in transaction volumes, with 50,485 units sold. The report highlights Dubai's continued ascent as one of the world's most dynamic real estate destinations, supported by a growing population seeking Dubai homes for sale, investor-friendly legislation, and a robust development pipeline. Momentum Continues Across Segments Compared to Q1, residential sales grew 33% in value and 19% in volume, underlining strong market momentum. The prime residential segment recorded a new benchmark with 1,417 luxury transactions in Q2, a 67% quarter-on-quarter jump and a 113% increase year-on-year which confirms a rising global appeal of luxury off-plan property for sale in Dubai among ultra-high-net-worth buyers. "Q3 is shaping up to be an exciting phase for Dubai's property market," said Christopher Cina, Director of Sales at Betterhomes. "With around 20,000 new units already delivered and another 70,000 expected by year-end, the city is well-positioned to meet rising demand from investors and end-users alike." Supply Expands, Prices Hold Strong Dubai saw over 20,000 new units delivered in H1 2025, with Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC) leading completions at 20%, followed by Sobha Hartland (11%) and Mohammed Bin Rashid City (8%). Looking ahead, over 200,000 new units are projected through 2027 reflecting developer confidence in Dubai's long-term growth. Despite the influx of supply, average property prices continue to rise, reaching AED 1,582 per square foot, a 6% increase from H2 2024 and up 3% from Q1 2025. Prices are now 18% higher year-on-year and 90% above the pandemic-era low of AED 833 per square foot. Investor Activity and Cash Deals on the Rise The report also revealed a strong resurgence in investor activity, with investors accounting for 58% of all transactions in Q2, up from 50% in Q1. Meanwhile, end-user activity dropped to 42%, as buyers sought rental income and capital appreciation in a high-demand market. Cash buyers dominated the market in Q2, representing 52% of transactions, up from 42% in Q1. Mortgage deals fell to 48%, indicating an increasingly liquid buyer base, driven by high-net-worth individuals and international investors seeking swift deal closures. Global Buyer Shifts Reflect Dubai's Expanding Reach The UK overtook India to become the leading buyer nationality in Q2, driven by a 56% quarterly surge in transactions. India and Pakistan retained second and third positions, respectively, while Poland made its debut in the top five. Notably, Russia dropped out of the top 10 for the first time, with Ireland climbing to sixth. As Dubai continues to draw global interest, particularly from European buyers, its property market stands firm as one of the most attractive and resilient investment destinations worldwide.

Hackers Pay $30 To Steal Passwords From Chrome, Edge, Brave And Firefox
The shockingly low cost of password hacking exposed. A new hacking tool is proving popular with password hackers for very good reason: it provides everything they need to go on a browser-based credentials hunt for what is, all things considered, a bargain basement price. It's not only your passwords they can steal, but a whole bunch of other stuff as well: cryptocurrency keys, private messaging tokens and browser session data, for example. Password Hackers Can Use The Katz Infostealer Service For As Little As $30 Per Month Microsoft has given users of its Authenticator app until August 1 to save their passwords as it looks to switch users to its Edge browser. The same tech giant, which, along with others such as Google, is also trying to get users to switch to passkey technology en masse. This is hardly surprising given that passwords are so insecure, and attackers look to exploit them at every turn. While I can support the change to passkeys, I'm not so sure about moving passwords from dedicated password management apps to web browsers. If you want to know why, look no further than the newly published analysis of the Katz infostealer malware-as-a-service threat. Jim Walter knows more than a thing or two about the revolving trend and tactics employed by cybercriminals. As a senior threat researcher with SentinelOne, specializing in uncovering and analyzing emerging cybercrime services, Walter has just published an in-depth look at the Katz password hacking threat. Launched earlier this year, Katz Stealer is described by Walker as a feature-rich infostealer that has quickly gained attention within password hacking circles. Marketed through all the usual cybercrime forums, and on the surface through groups on networks such as Discord and Telegram, Katz is packed to the gills with credential and data theft capabilities, alongside an impressive suite of detection-evading features. 'The turnkey nature of the Katz Stealer service, along with accessible pricing,' Walter said, 'has led to rapid adoption by threat actors across the spectrum of capability.' Low Cost Of Entry For Password Hackers Ah, yes, the pricing. Remember, this is password theft as a service, so hackers have to pay for the privilege of using Katz, but the payouts are obviously well worth the relatively small investment. With prices starting at $50 per month, this drops to as low as $30 for a 12-month commitment. The low cost of Katz Stealer rental revealed. For this, threat actors get access to a web-based management panel, which also operates as the back-end for the infostealer, so that exfiltrated data can be processed and searched. Katz Stealer management panel. 'The infostealer can harvest data from all commonly used web browsers,' Walter said, including Chrome, Edge, Brave, Firefox and various Chromium/Gecko-offshoots. 'Saved passwords, login session cookies, saved session tokens, autofill data (including stored credit card CVV data) are all targeted.' Walter also warned that despite Google introducing application-bound encryption to Chromium in 2024, which effectively 'ties the decryption of stored passwords and cookies to the logged-in OS user,' the Katz Stealer can bypass this by 'programmatically masquerading as the browser once injected.' I have approached Brave, Google, Microsoft and Mozilla for a statement. In the meantime, I would recommend taking note Walter concluded that 'Katz Stealer still relies on social engineering and user interaction to enable a successful compromise.' You know what to do then; be careful out there, don't fall for those social engineering tricks and don't click on things when you cannot be 100% sure where they lead. The password hackers are relying upon you not to follow this advice.
