Off-plan Prices Surge 50% in red-hot Market

The demand for off-plan properties in popular locations across Dubai has continued to rise, with prices increasing nearly 50 percent.

In the first half of 2022, Dubai’s off-plan market reportedly saw a growth trajectory of more than 130 percent with over 130,000 units from almost 85 launched projects. With FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 just over the horizon, demand is unlikely to dip as the city continues to boom.

Off-plan properties are smart and effective investments. The transaction is mutually beneficial as developers secure capital for the construction of their project and buyers realize added value upon the handover phase. Though Dubai’s market is hot right now, both in terms of new projects in the pipeline and their costs, the potential for long-term ROI should remain.

Downtown Dubai, Business Bay, and Dubai Water Canal have remained popular locations and have seen off-plan developments spring up recently. Other new off-plan projects announced outside of Downtown that are also in highly desirable locations, such as Dubai Hills, Nad Al Sheba, Meydan, and Dubai Creek Harbour.

The Dubai real estate market saw another high on Tuesday the 25th October 2022, with property deal transactions recording over AED1.7 billion.

Tuesday’s property deals recorded include 425 sales transactions worth AED1.32 billion, 71 mortgage deals of AED386.7 million and 12 gift deals amounting to AED56.77 million, according to Dubai Land Department (DLD) data.
