Mortgage Transactions and Value

For the first time since March, we are seeing growth in the number of mortgage transactions, indicating a growing number of “live-in” and first-time home buyers. 

Even with the increasing interest rate, Dubai's property market has not been affected.

Price Changes

The average property price is the highest we have ever seen on record for June. 

The price of off-plan apartments has increased by nearly 60% since June of 2021, Jumping from AED 854K to AED 1.36M. This is partly due to buyers seeking higher-priced areas like Business Bay and Downtown. 

The prices of off-plan and ready villas continue to drop. The combined price is now down by over 30% from June 2021.

** Prices change across Dubai could be attributed to selling properties in different areas than the areas last year. You can visit our interactive reporting tools to get more precise information.
