Real estate transactions alone totaled 226,000, with a total value of Dh761 billion. This represents an incredible 36% increase in volume and 20% increase in value year over year.
Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defense, and Chairman of the Executive Council of Dubai, attributed the emirate’s record-breaking real estate performance to its robust infrastructure, forward-thinking policies, thriving economy, and excellent investment climate.
“The exceptional results in 2024 reflect the deep strength and resilience of our economy, which continues to thrive in a rapidly changing global landscape. The leadership’s visionary goals outlined in the Dubai Economic Agenda D33 have helped raise the emirate’s position as an international hub for investment, trade, and innovation, and enhanced its global appeal as a lifestyle and investment destination, all of which have catalysed the real estate market.”
“Bolstered by the Dubai Real Estate Strategy 2033, the sector continues to raise benchmarks of transparency, return on investment and investor confidence while addressing diverse market needs. Dubai’s real estate market remains among the world’s best, with a strong focus not only on innovation and excellence but also stability and sustainability.
“We continue to introduce new initiatives in the sector to advance our vision of making Dubai the world’s best place to live and work. The steady growth of the real estate market also continues to boost its contribution to the D33 Agenda’s objectives of making Dubai one of the world’s top three urban economies and doubling its GDP by 2033,” he added.
