Record-Breaking Demand for Off-Plan Properties in Dubai

Dubai’s off-plan property market is having a record-breaking surge in momentum for 2025, with sales exceeding AED 90 billion from January to mid-May, indicating a marked increase in investor appetite. Off-plan sales now comprise nearly 70% of all residential sales, with affordability, flexible payment plans and lucrative rental yield potential driving demand. Some of the most popular districts are Jumeirah Village Circle, Business Bay, and Dubai Creek Harbour.

Projections remain strong for demand; however, analysts warn demand may taper off towards the end of the year, alongside an estimated total of 73,000 homes scheduled for delivery by the end of 2025. Although it remains a possibility, the fundamentals of Dubai’s real estate market do remain intact, given the existing and ongoing infrastructure growth, confidence in foreign investment and steady population influxes.
