Dubai's luxury property market is experiencing a red-hot surge, driven by intense demand that far exceeds available supply. According to Knight Frank, luxury homes for sale in Dubai's prestigious neighborhoods have decreased by 47% over the past year. This shortage is fueled by a significant rise in international ultra-wealthy buyers, whose purchasing power is driving prices upwards. Average transaction prices in prime locations have climbed by 7% in the first half of 2024 alone. The Palm Jumeirah stands out, dominating 89.3% of prime property sales, highlighting Dubai's stronghold as the top market for homes priced at USD 10 million and above.
Dubai's luxury property market is red hot, with demand for high-end homes significantly outstripping supply. This has led to a dramatic drop in available properties and a surge in prices.
According to Knight Frank, a leading property consultancy, the number of luxury homes for sale in Dubai's most prestigious neighborhoods has plummeted by 47% in the past year. This includes sought-after areas like The Palm Jumeirah (known for its iconic palm-shaped development), Jumeirah Bay Island, Jumeirah Islands, and Emirates Hills.
This decline is driven by a surge in demand from international ultra-wealthy buyers. Their buying power is overwhelming the current supply of luxury properties. A report by Knight Frank revealed a significant increase (76%) in global private capital targeting Dubai's residential market in 2024 compared to 2023.
The lack of available properties is pushing prices upwards. Average transaction prices across Dubai's prime locations have risen by 7% in the first half of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.
The Palm Jumeirah remains the undisputed leader in Dubai's luxury real estate market. It accounted for a staggering 89.3% of all prime property sales in the first half of 2024, with a total of 853 homes sold. Other popular areas include Jumeirah Islands, Jumeirah Bay Island, and Emirates Hills.
Dubai has cemented its position as the world's leading market for homes priced at USD 10 million and above. This segment saw a record 431 sales in 2023, 80% higher than its closest competitor, London. The trend continued in the first half of 2024 with an additional 190 sales in this exclusive price bracket.
Interestingly, despite the strong sales figures, the number of USD 10 million+ listings has dropped by 65.5% in the past year. This suggests a shift towards a "buy-to-hold" mentality among high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs). They are likely purchasing these properties for personal use rather than flipping them for quick profits, a strategy that was common in previous market cycles.
The Dubai luxury property market shows no signs of slowing down. With strong demand from international buyers and limited supply (down to 2,851 properties), prices are expected to continue rising. This trend also extends to the ultra-luxury segment, with sales of homes priced at USD 25 million and above experiencing a 25% growth in just the last three months (with a total of 21 sales in the first half of 2024).
