Introduction
Dubai remains in its quest to establish itself as one of the most robust real estate centers in the world. According to the latest Betterhomes November report, the sales and leasing are steadily growing, and it proves that the investors are not afraid as the city is heading towards 2026. As property prices begin to increase, off-plan sales continue their dominance and tenant renewals continue to grow, the real estate market in Dubai is beginning to take shape to achieve sustainable stability in the next year. To buyers, investors and tenants, it is easy to understand the message; Dubai is still a market of opportunity.
Dubai Real Estate Prices go up in November.
Dubai has the average prices of residential property, which increased 2.5 percent every month, and reached AED 1,950 per square foot in November. The trend is a continuation of the upward trend that has been recorded in the fourth quarter. The market experienced an annual seasonal deceleration, however, with 17,812 sales transactions worth AED 46 billion, demand is not weak even when it is adjusted at the end of the year.
Off-Plan Sales are still dominating the market.
Off-plan real estate has been a significant contributor to the growth of the real estate in the city. Among all the transactions reported during the month of November, 12,429 deals were off-plan and this would constitute 70 percent of the total market share. The secondary market recorded sales totaling 5,383 and this is a sign of confidence of new buyers as well as the current owners.
Emaar was the performance leader in developer activities that created exceptional off-plan and ready unit activity. The buyer demand increased by 3 percent and there was great demand in the already developed apartment communities like Jumeirah Village Circle, Business Bay and Jumeirah Village Triangle. There was also increasing interest in the villa destinations such as Jumeirah Golf Estates, the Dubai Land and the Mohammed Bin Rashid City.
Betterhomes CEO Louis Harding said that November was strong and silent. As prices go up, AED 46 billion transacted and buyer leads grow, the market is still on the real demand with well-positioned projects.
Dubai Rental Market is stable.
Stability in the Dubai rental industry was also experienced in November. There were 45,771 rental transactions in the city where the renewal percentage rose to 59 percent with more tenants opting to remain in their present homes at the end of the year. New agreements on rentals came to 18,873, which is a typical pattern of residents postponing relocations until the beginning of 2026.
There were different patterns of rent migration in different communities. The villas in Dubai Festival City have recorded a 4.5 percent rise, with 2 percent rise in Dubai Hills Estate since the demand is steady and consistent by the family. Flexibility in payment was also a characteristic of the rental market, four-cheque leasing agreement constituting 34 per cent of all contracts and single-cheque payment constituting 27 per cent.
The top rentals were around Jumeirah Village circle, Business Bay and Dubai Silicon Oasis in terms of the apartments, with the demand of villas centering in the Dubai Hills Estate, Damac Hills 2 and The Valley.
As the Director of Leasing in Betterhomes, Rupert Simmonds observed that the leasing market was operating with certainty. As renewals come up to 60 percent and enquiries continue throughout the primary communities, tenants are selecting the neighborhoods that can help them live easy and convenient everyday lives into the new year.
Market Outlook for 2026
Betterhomes believes a successful and stable beginning in 2026 will be aided by the consistent performance in sales and leasing sector. Combined with population growth, eminent developer launches and maintenance of liquidity, the current situation is further strengthening the Dubai as one of the most viable global real estate destinations.
Investing, purchasing a home or visiting high demand rental communities, everything is promising well in the real estate industry in Dubai in the year to come.
Reflections and Recommendation.
The recent market statistics affirms that Dubai is still sailing with a lot of confidence. As prices keep growing, good off-plan demand and stable leasing, the city is still considered to be one of the safest and the most rewarding real estate markets to invest.
