7,000 New Units Completed: Apartments Dominate the New Completions
During the third quarter of 2024, Dubai completed around 7,000 new residential units. Among those, apartments accounted for 84%. The highest unit completions were reported in the Jumeirah Village Circle, followed closely by Mohammed Bin Rashid (MBR) City and Dubai Harbour.
According to the report, it highlighted an immense demand for larger residential units especially tw0- and three-bedroom apartments, which was preferred by buyers as a lot of them wanted bigger living spaces.
Off-plan transactions continue to drive the market, accounting for 71% of the total transaction volume during Q3. Off-plan sales are considered to be a gauge of the level of investor confidence that is enhanced through new supplies launched within the quarter as well as flexible payment schemes. Land Sterling observed in their third-quarter analysis, “Our Q3 report puts Dubai as a healthy and attractive real estate market, which registered high growth in the volume and value of transactions. This reflects the growing confidence of investors and continued interest in Dubai as a preferred global investment destination.”
Top Areas by Transaction Volume and Value
The data also indicates Jumeirah Village Circle is leading with the most transaction volumes, followed closely by Dubai Hills Estate, Business Bay, Dubai South, and Sobha Hartland 2 in terms of activity. In terms of total sales value, Dubai Hills Estate dominated the market, followed by Dubai South, Palm Jumeirah, Business Bay, and The Valley.
Dubai has been a recipient of strong investment from local and international investors, making it one of the most prominent global destinations for real estate, and therefore, there is simply no purpose to predict the future of the property market in Dubai.
