Dubai Real Estate Growth Signals Market Maturity

08 Jan 2026 CW Team

Dubai’s real estate sector recorded robust growth in 2025, signalling a maturing market driven by long-term value rather than speculation, according to luxury developer Keturah.

Data from DXBInteract shows that the number of real estate agencies in Dubai rose by 39.7 per cent year-on-year to 9,728, while registered brokers increased by 34.5 per cent to 32,317. The market also generated AED86 billion in capital gains in 2025, with year-on-year growth across all asset classes, including apartments, villas, commercial properties and plots.

Talal M. Al Gaddah, CEO and Founder of the Keturah luxury brand, said the expansion reflects a more competitive and discerning market. “With greater choice, buyers compare more rigorously, brokers prioritise proven projects, and brand, delivery track record and product quality become decisive,” he said. He added that in the luxury segment, “abundance doesn’t drive volume; it drives selectivity.”

The comments come as Keturah Reserve enters its final sales phase. The AED5.7 billion development will be presented to around 700 brokers at an industry event organised by fäm Properties at the JW Marriott Hotel Dubai. The project is located in Mohammed Bin Rashid City’s District 7, Meydan.
