Dubai’s real estate market continued to show strong momentum in the first half of 2026, with off-plan properties accounting for 71 per cent of total home sales. The growing dominance of newly launched developments highlights the continued confidence of investors and end-users in Dubai’s property market.

The strong demand for off-plan homes has been supported by a wide range of new residential projects, attractive payment plans and increasing interest in modern communities across the emirate. Buyers are increasingly choosing properties before completion to secure homes in promising locations and benefit from potential long-term capital growth.

Dubai’s property market has remained attractive to both local and international investors, with new developments playing a major role in overall transaction activity. The continued strength of the off-plan sector reflects the city’s expanding population, ongoing infrastructure development and its position as a leading global destination for real estate investment.

With developers continuing to introduce new projects and buyers showing sustained interest in future-ready communities, Dubai’s off-plan market is expected to remain an important driver of residential sales. Earlier 2026 market data also showed off-plan transactions making up a dominant share of Dubai property activity, underlining the sector’s strong appeal.
