Dubai Real Estate Market Report – Q3 2024 As Q3 2024 concludes, the Dubai residential real estate market continues to experience robust growth, with a total of 47,067 residential transactions valued at AED 116 billion. This marks a 30% year-over-year (YoY) increase and a 12% rise quarter-on-quarter (QoQ), indicating sustained investor interest and market expansion. Mardinli Real Estate is proud to share the latest market trends and insights that reflect the dynamic opportunities within Dubai’s real estate sector.

Key Market Insights

  • Off-Plan Dominance: Off-plan transactions represented 66% of total residential deals in Q3 2024, up from 61% in the first half of the year. This growing trend highlights strong investor demand for new developments in a city experiencing rapid population growth.
  • Surging Luxury Segment: The ultra-luxury segment, specifically properties valued at AED 20 million or more, recorded a 46% YoY increase in transactions, reflecting Dubai’s continued appeal to high-net-worth individuals and the global elite.
  • Villa/Townhouse Market: The villa and townhouse market outpaced the apartment sector, with a 20% median price increase in tracked communities, showcasing heightened demand for larger living spaces, particularly post-pandemic.
  • Apartment Market Stability: The apartment sector demonstrated steady growth, with a 9% median price increase. However, the 85% share of the future supply pipeline being apartments suggests this sector may lag behind the villa market in terms of price growth.

This trend has fueled the mortgage market, where Mardinli Real Estate has observed a sharp 252% increase in mortgage leads, a testament to the competitiveness of Dubai’s mortgage offerings.

  • Mortgage Market Growth: The mortgage market saw an impressive 252% increase in leads, underlining the growing trend toward homeownership as rental prices climb.

Supply Outlook

With 85% of the supply pipeline consisting of apartments, future price growth in this segment may be moderate. However, the villa and townhouse sectors, with limited supply, are expected to see continued appreciation in value, driven by ongoing demand for larger homes.

Conclusion and Outlook for Q4 2024
