DUBAI RECORDED MASSIVE 11,000+ REAL ESTATE DEALS LAST MONTH

Dubai’s real estate market has taken the world by storm with a phenomenal performance in the first quarter (Q1) of 2023. According to Unique Properties, a prominent real estate firm, the city witnessed a record-breaking number of property transactions during this period.

Sales Surge and Market Growth

Here’s a breakdown of the impressive figures:

A staggering total of 29,323 property deals were recorded in Q1 2023.
March 2023 alone saw a phenomenal 11,597 units registered, a significant milestone for the market.

These numbers represent a remarkable 47.3% increase compared to the same period in 2022. Fueling this growth are two key trends:

Surge in Off-Plan Deals: Off-plan property sales skyrocketed by a whopping 96.1%. Off-plan refers to purchasing a property under development, offering attractive investment opportunities for many buyers.
Secondary Market Gains Traction: Transactions in the secondary market, which deals with existing properties, also experienced significant growth, with a 12.4% increase.

Increased Demand Leads to Price Rise

The surge in demand for Dubai real estate has naturally impacted property prices. On average, residential property prices have witnessed a 12.8% rise. This increase is further segmented:

Apartment prices have climbed by 12.4%.
Villa prices have experienced a steeper rise of 14.8%.

Luxury Market Thrives in Prime Locations

Dubai’s luxury market is booming, with areas like Jumeirah and Palm Jumeirah experiencing a significant increase in price per square foot for both apartments and villas. Arash Jalili, Founder and CEO of Unique Properties, attributes this phenomenon to the overwhelming demand for real estate, reflected in the record-breaking sales figures of Q1 2023.

Looking Ahead: Continued Growth Expected

Market experts, including Mr. Jalili, are optimistic about the future of Dubai’s real estate market. They anticipate the positive trend to continue in the coming months.

A recent report by Knight Frank titled “Dubai’s Branded Residential Market 2023” highlights another contributing factor to the sector’s success. The report reveals that branded residences, which are properties associated with luxury brands, have generated a staggering AED 25.4 billion in sales. Furthermore, the report estimates an influx of approximately 2,000 new branded residential units in 2023.

The report also mentions a noteworthy sale – the Bulgari Lighthouse, a luxurious 38,970 sq ft penthouse situated on Jumeirah Bay Island, which fetched an incredible AED 410 million. This property boasts over 13,000 sq ft of balcony and terrace space, signifying the high demand for ultra-luxury properties in Dubai.
