Over 167,000 New Units to be Supplied in 2025, Dubai Real Estate Focuses on "Absorption Capacity" and Property Selection

Dubai Research Institute Holdings Inc. has organized key points for Japanese buyers to consider, based on new supply data in the Dubai real estate market.

In 2025, the Dubai real estate market will see new supply from 648 projects, exceeding 167,000 units, valued at approximately AED 463 billion (approximately JPY 20.4 trillion, based on 1 AED = JPY 44). While the market size is expanding, it is becoming crucial for buyers not only to assess if "the market is growing" but also to determine "whether properties will be absorbed by demand after completion."

Since 2023, the scale of new supply in Dubai has significantly increased. While increased supply indicates market growth, it also tends to lead to an increase in competing properties in the same area and price range.

Trend of New Supply Data

2023

New Units Supplied: Approx. 96,000 units

Total Launch Value (*1): Approx. AED 272 billion

2024

New Units Supplied: Over 145,000 units

Total Launch Value (*1): Approx. AED 360.1 billion

2025

New Units Supplied: Over 167,000 units

Total Launch Value (*1): Approx. AED 463 billion (approx. JPY 20.4 trillion)

While the number of units supplied alone indicates the momentum of the overall market, purchase decisions require confirmation of rental demand by area, completion timing, and the number of competing properties completing at the same time.

Those considering a purchase are shifting their focus from "market size" to confirming "whether the property will be absorbed." In a market with increasing new supply, not all properties are chosen equally. Moving forward, it is important to confirm not only the price of individual properties but also whether rental and resale demand can be expected after completion.

Key Points for Those Considering Purchasing Dubai Real Estate:

Is the area expected to have rental demand after completion?

Is supply too concentrated within the same area?

Are there any issues with the developer's past completion record?

Is the payment plan (installment conditions) and funding plan, including exchange rate fluctuations, feasible?

Are there too many competing properties that will be compared at the time of resale?

The more the overall market supply increases, the more pronounced the differences between individual properties become. When considering Dubai real estate, it is important to confirm not only price and location but also post-completion demand and exit strategies.
