Dubai’s real estate market remains a top choice for global investors, with off-plan sales dominating 63% of total transactions in 2024, a significant rise from 54% in 2023. Investors are increasingly attracted to new developments due to competitive pricing, flexible payment plans, and limited availability in the secondary market.
