Dubai’s real estate market is expected to enter a more disciplined phase in 2026, with buyer behaviour shifting from momentum-driven decisions to logic-based purchasing, following another record-breaking year for the sector.
Market activity in 2025 reached historic levels, with more than 197,000 transactions recorded between January and November, valued at over AED624bn.
Connectivity is set to become an increasingly important value driver, with areas linked to the Dubai Metro expected to benefit from sustained demand.
