Good news for UAE residents! No more bracing yourself during every rent renewal and property purchase.
A recent Moodys Report suggest a modest price correction starting from 2026, which means stable or even lesser rents.
The reason?
Over 150,000 new homes are set to hit the market between 2025 and 2027 — a 20% boost to Dubai’s housing supply. According to the report, this could trigger a ‘modest price correction’ starting in 2026.
But don’t expect demand to slow down anytime soon. With the UAE’s population booming and over 80,000 millionaires calling Dubai home, buyer interest is here to stay.
What does that mean for you?
More bargaining power is finally on the table — and relief from years of rent hikes is in sight.
Apartment rents, especially in mid-market areas, are expected to drop noticeably. Villas might not see big price drops, but the market’s set to stay steady — so no more surprise rent spikes
More protection for renters & buyers
Over the past decade, major regulatory upgrades have made the market safer for residents and investors.
For off-plan buyers, funds now go into escrow accounts — only released as developers hit key construction milestones. Plus, developers must meet stricter launch rules, securing land and approvals before they can start selling
Bottom line?
Renting, buying, or investing? The next few years are looking way more wallet-friendly
