Savills’ latest report shows Dubai’s prime residential properties shot up over 5% in value just in the first half of 2025. That’s enough to put the city in the global top three. So, why should you care? Here’s why.
Capital value growth
Luxury homes in Dubai aren’t just holding steady, they’re growing. With a 5% jump already this year, experts expect another 4-6% increase by December. When you compare that to other cities like Berlin or Seoul, Dubai’s market looks solid but with serious upside potential.
Rentals stay strong
If you’re thinking about rental income, prime rental values climbed nearly 3% in just six months, with a 13% increase since January. With more expats and professionals moving in, landlords are looking at reliable, ongoing returns.

Investor-friendly policies
Dubai makes it easy to buy, sell, and hold property – no property tax, clear regulations, and long-term residency options sweeten the deal. It’s one of the lowest risk, highest reward property markets around, especially for residents.
Limited supply boosts value
Luxury properties in hot spots like Downtown, Palm Jumeirah, and Business Bay are limited. Demand from expats and foreign buyers keeps prices and rents climbing. When supply is tight, values tend to hold strong.
Flexible financing options
With mortgages stretching 15 to 30 years and deposits as low as 15% for nationals and 20% for expats, Dubai makes financing straightforward. Whether you’re a first-timer or seasoned investor, this flexibility helps you leverage capital and ride the long-term growth wave.
