How the property rental changed in Dubai?

Ejari registration hits record heights in August 2022 with over 36,800 free-hold contracts marking an increase of 9.7% vs. August 2021. Year to date, the rental registration went up by 11% vs. last year to over 250,000 rental contracts. This increase can be attributed to two main factors:

1. The population increased by almost 30,000 in the last four months to over 3,528,000 since Dubai stands out as safe haven in the middle of tough global circumstances.
2. The high-interest rate caused a decrease in mortgage transactions by 13% where many people prefer to rent over getting a mortgage. 
3. Consequently, the rental went up across Dubai on average by 20% in August 2022 compared to August 2021.
