Property Market Sees 35.5% Increase in Transactions as Off-Plan Properties Attract Global Investors
Dubai’s Off-Plan Market Remains Robust in Early 2025, Drawing a Broader Spectrum of International Investors
Dubai’s real estate sector maintained its strong growth trajectory through 2024, with transactions surging by 35.5% compared to the previous year—a testament to the market’s resilience and investor confidence.
The emirate’s off-plan segment remains a key driver of this momentum in early 2025, drawing an increasingly diverse pool of international investors.
A year-on-year comparison of data from January and February 2024 to the same period in 2025 reveals a notable shift, with Indian investors significantly strengthening their market position, increasing their share from 19% to 28%.
Mexican Investors Enter Dubai’s Property Market in 2025 as Indian Buyers Strengthen Their Presence
The most notable trend in 2025 has been the emergence of Mexican investors, who were absent in early 2024 but now account for 11% of trading activity.
“The rise of Mexican investment marks a significant shift in Dubai’s real estate landscape, highlighting growing interest from Latin American markets,” noted market analysts.
Meanwhile, Pakistani investors have maintained a stable presence, with their share of total transactions increasing slightly from 10% to 11%.
The investor pool has expanded considerably, with buyers from Jordan, Canada, Lebanon, Morocco, Egypt, Austria, the UK, Albania, and Italy each securing a 6% market share.
“Sustained demand for off-plan properties is driven by competitive pricing, flexible payment plans, and strong capital appreciation potential. Iconic developments such as The Valley by Emaar, Dubai Creek Harbour, and Sobha One continue to attract investors, with select phases selling out rapidly upon launch,” the statement added.
Dubai’s investor-friendly regulations, strategic global positioning, and world-class infrastructure further solidify its reputation as a prime investment destination.
As 2025 progresses, the off-plan market is expected to remain a top choice for investors seeking long-term returns in Dubai’s thriving real estate sector.
