Dubai’s property market continues to attract international attention in 2025, with real estate transactions increasing by 35.5% compared to the same period last year. MILK Real Estate has identified that this growth is being driven primarily by off-plan property sales, as buyers and investors seek long-term value in Dubai’s most promising locations.
More than ever, international property buyers are choosing Dubai for second homes, rental income, and capital growth. And as the off-plan market matures, investor interest is reaching new heights.
Dubai Property Buyer Trends in Early 2025
In the first two months of 2025, Dubai has seen a significant shift in buyer demographics:
- Indian investors remain dominant, increasing their market share from 19% to 28%
- Mexican buyers have entered the Dubai real estate market for the first time, now representing 11% of all transactions
- Pakistani buyers have seen a modest rise in activity, growing from 10% to 11%
MILK Real Estate also reports increased global diversification, with Canadian, Jordanian, UK, Italian, Egyptian, Moroccan, Lebanese, Austrian, and Albanian buyers each accounting for 6% of total property transactions. This reflects rising confidence in Dubai as a leading international real estate destination.
Why Off-Plan Property Remains the Top Choice for Dubai Investors
Off-plan real estate continues to lead buyer demand in 2025. Investors purchasing off-plan property in Dubai benefit from:
- Competitive pricing compared to ready-built homes
- Flexible payment plans, including post-handover options
- Strong capital appreciation potential in emerging areas
Key off-plan developments such as The Valley by Emaar, Dubai Creek Harbour, and Sobha One are experiencing exceptional interest, with multiple phases selling out shortly after launch. These master-planned communities offer the design quality, amenities, and connectivity that today’s real estate buyers expect.
Dubai Remains a Global Hub for Real Estate Investment
Dubai continues to stand out on the global real estate map. The city offers no property tax, high rental yields, stable regulation, long-term residency visas, and world-class infrastructure. These factors make Dubai particularly attractive to international real estate investors, end-users, and buy-to-let landlords alike.
As we move through 2025, demand for off-plan property in Dubai is expected to remain high. For property buyers looking to invest in Dubai real estate, this is a moment of opportunity.
