Dubai’s real estate market has always been a beacon of innovation and growth. As we step into the second quarter of 2024, the market dynamics continue to evolve, reflecting the city’s rapid development and the challenges that come with it.
A Surge in Population
The first quarterof 2024 saw Dubai welcome an additional 26,000 residents, a clear indicator of the city’s growing appeal as a global hub for business and lifestyle. This influx of new residents is a positive sign of economic vitality, but it also brings to light the pressing need for residential housing.
The Housing Supply Challenge
With only 6,500 new homes handed over during the same period, the housing supply has lagged behind demand. This mismatch has led to a significant 22% annual increase in rent. The scarcity of ready-to-move-in homes is a concern that stakeholders across the board are keen to address.

Off-Plan Market: A Silver Lining
Despite the shortage of ready homes, the off-plan market in Dubai is thriving. Accounting for more than 58% of all property sales, new projects are being launched at an unprecedented rate, with developers introducing more than one new project every day in the first quarter.
Record-Breaking Transactions
The Dubai Land Department (DLD) recorded 34,178 transactions in the first three months of 2024, marking the highest volume quarter on record. This milestone is a testament to the market’s resilience and the confidence investors place in Dubai’s real estate sector.
