Dubai continues to reaffirm its position as one of the most attractive cities in the world for luxury real estate investment. In the first half of 2025, the emirate secured its place among the top three global cities for prime residential price growth, according to the latest data from international property consultancy Savills.
While Tokyo led with an impressive 8.8 per cent increase, Dubai followed closely behind Berlin to take third place, recording a notable five per cent rise in high-end residential values. This sustained upward trajectory reflects not only a maturing market but also the growing confidence of investors who view Dubai as a secure and forward-looking environment in which to place capital.
The city’s appeal lies not only in rising property values but in the broader environment that supports long-term growth. Dubai has established itself as a hub for international business, refined living and future-focused opportunity. Recent residency reforms, including the ten-year Golden Visa and remote working residency options, have further broadened its appeal among high-net-worth individuals and globally mobile professionals seeking both stability and sophistication.
One of the key drivers behind this growth is the limited supply of prime residential property in Dubai’s most desirable neighbourhoods. Despite ongoing development across the city, demand in the upper tier of the market continues to exceed availability. This natural scarcity has supported consistent value appreciation. Attractive financing terms across extended mortgage periods have also contributed to the market’s accessibility without diminishing its exclusivity.
Property transaction volumes reflect this momentum. In the first half of 2025, Dubai recorded over 125,000 completed deals with a total value exceeding AED 431 billion. This represents a 26 per cent increase year on year in both volume and value. Such figures highlight not only strong local activity but also rising interest from international investors who see Dubai as a safe and stable destination for long-term capital growth.
Looking ahead, the outlook remains positive. As other global cities face regulatory tightening and economic stagnation, Dubai continues to offer a rare blend of investor confidence, economic vision and lifestyle appeal.
For those seeking more than financial return, those drawn to security, prestige and international connectivity, Dubai presents a compelling opportunity to invest in a future shaped by excellence.
