Dubai, January 23, 2026 — Dubai’s real estate market continues to show robust performance as the government-backed First-Time Home Buyer Program has helped approximately 2,000 residents purchase their first homes in the past six months. This initiative has driven over AED 3.25 billion (~USD 885 million) in property sales, reflecting renewed buyer confidence and increased domestic demand.

Earlier data also shows that Dubai’s property market recorded historic performance in 2025, with total transactions exceeding AED 917 billion, up about 20% year-on-year, highlighting Dubai’s continued appeal to both local and international investors.

Industry forecasts suggest a busy year ahead, with expectations of around 120,000 new residential units entering the market in 2026, which could influence pricing and rental dynamics. Observers say this level of supply reflects Dubai’s long-term strategic planning and evolving investment landscape.

Overall, current trends point to a dynamic and resilient Dubai real estate market, supported by government incentives, strong transaction values, and broad investor participation.
