?? Market Watch: UAE
Population increase: A catalyst for real estate growth
Dubai is thriving as its population hits an exciting milestone—3.8 million residents, the highest since 2018!?
As population growth continues, experts predict the secondary housing market will have an incredible year, driven by family relocations and taking centre stage over off-plan properties.
Case in point: School enrollments rose by 6% in 2024/25, and 10 new schools opened to meet the growing needs of families settling in the emirate.
?? A magnet for global investors
Did you know?
With an impressive ratio of one millionaire for every 51 residents, Dubai continues to attract investors from Germany, France, the UK, India, and China, drawn by tax-free living, long-term visas, and a transparent market.?
The presence of high-net-worth individuals is fuelling demand for luxury properties in areas like Emirates Hills, Palm Jumeirah, and Downtown Dubai, while suburban communities attract families seeking more affordable options.
Looking ahead, experts project that prime residential prices will rise by 5% in 2025, still outpacing global hubs like London (2%) and New York (3%).
Ending note: Let’s check back in late 2025 because, in Dubai, population increase only means one thing for real estate: unstoppable growth! ??

Comparing investor options: Spain vs UAE Golden Visa
Spain has thrown a curveball into its real estate market by proposing a 100% tax on property purchases by non-EU nationals without residency.?
While the move aims to improve housing affordability, it has left foreign buyers uneasy and raised questions about its long-term impact on Spain’s property sector.
Meanwhile, the UAE is showing the world how it’s done…
Its Golden Visa program is designed to appeal to high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs), entrepreneurs, and investors. The program offers many perks, including tax-free living starting from AED 2 million.?
Even Portugal, long celebrated for its Golden Visa, pales in comparison, with higher investment thresholds and stay requirements.?
Ending note: Where Spain and Portugal create barriers, the UAE builds bridges, proving why it’s a top global destination for investors.
