The UAE’s real estate sector is set for a wave of new property launches in 2025, with major developments announced across Dubai. The market is expected to see over 72,000 new residential units, which analysts predict will contribute to price stabilisation amid continued demand from global investors.
“In 2024, Dubai’s off-plan real estate market recorded over 106,000 transactions, accounting for 63% of total sales,” said Christopher Cina, Director of Sales at Betterhomes. “This year, the new supply is expected to balance the market while reinforcing Dubai’s position as a global investment hub.”
