The Dubai real estate sector maintained its growth trajectory through 2024, with a 35.5 percent increase in property transactions compared to the previous year, according to a statement by Betterhomes.

The emirate’s off-plan market continues to perform strongly in early 2025, attracting a more diverse range of international investors.

Data comparing January-February 2024 with the same period in 2025 shows Indian investors strengthening their market position, increasing their share from 19 percent to 28 percent.

The most notable is the emergence of Mexican investors, who were not present in early 2024 but now account for 11 percent of transactions.

“The rise of Mexican investment represents a significant shift in Dubai’s real estate landscape, indicating growing interest from Latin American markets,” said market analysts.

Pakistani investors maintained a steady presence, with a slight increase from 10 percent to 11 percent of total transactions.

The investor pool has widened considerably in 2025, with Jordanian, Canadian, Lebanese, Moroccan, Egyptian, Austrian, UK, Albanian, and Italian buyers each securing 6 percent of the market share.

“The sustained demand for off-plan properties is driven by competitive pricing, flexible payment plans, and strong capital appreciation potential. Iconic developments such as The Valley by Emaar, Dubai Creek Harbour, and Sobha One remain top investor choices, with select phases selling out rapidly upon launch,” the statement said.

The emirate’s investor-friendly policies, strategic global position, and infrastructure continue to cement its status as a leading investment destination.

As 2025 progresses, the off-plan market is expected to provide substantial opportunities for investors seeking long-term returns in Dubai’s property sector.
