Real estate in Dubai in 2022 proved to be a profitable asset. Investors from all over the world witnessed the growth of it. Property for sale in Burj Khalifa, for example, remains one of the most popular investment options. Let’s have a look at what is so special in the district.
Real estate in Dubai
Real estate in Dubai is at the peak of growth: it grew by 10% in a year, and in the third quarter the total amount of transactions reached a record $19 billion, and sales reached a 12-year high. In 2022, the demand is so great that there is simply not enough housing in some areas and price categories: first of all, we are talking about off-plan property (that is, under construction) in the most popular and prestigious locations. Among them are apartments under construction in the areas of:
- Business Bay
- Meydan
- Dubai Hills
- Dubai Creek Harbor
- and Dubai Water Canal
In the first half of 2022, Dubai ranked 4th in the world in terms of growth in the cost of housing and investment, becoming the only non-US city in the top five. The cost of housing here rose by 4.7%, compared with 2.4% in other countries. At the same time, prices for luxury real estate over the past year have increased by more than 70%: more than in London, Paris or New York. Developers are also optimistic: since the beginning of this year, they have submitted more than 31,000 different lots, the highest figure since 2018.
In all major cities of the world, including European ones, there is a market for “second homes”. Tired of the bustle of the city, on weekends, residents go by car or by sea to their second, country house in the forest, near the beach or river, to relax and unwind. For Dubai and the UAE, this is a new phenomenon.
In the mature real estate markets of Europe and North America, there is a growing trend to acquire investment assets that can provide a stable income. For example, the second home market is ready to offer high rental yields in the holiday real estate segment. Most of people who invest in property in Dubai are from the UAE and the Gulf region, however, we are now seeing an increase in interest from European investors who are very familiar with the concept of a “second home” and are aware of the high profitability of the proposed investment properties.
