Dubai Realty Sector Zooms as Investments Top Dhs11b
The real estate sector in Dubai showed a continuous flow of real estate investments in May 2021, recording 5,359 investments worth over Dhs11 billion. In addition, 11,387 new investors entered the market, comprising 66 percent of total registered investors since the beginning of the year, according to Dubai Land Department (DLD) Real Estate Updates. Dubai’s real estate sector has continuously proven its attractiveness to investment and its flexibility in adapting to various developments, thanks to the legislative environment and infrastructure created by the policies and directives of the wise leadership, which has had a clear impact on the results achieved in the sector during the past months, specifically since the beginning of this year, and contributed to strengthening the emirate’s global position as a preferred real estate investment destination. According to the real estate bulletin issued by DLD under the name ‘Real Estate Updates,’ 6,021 real estate transactions worth Dhs21.8 billion were recorded in May 2021, achieving significant growth in number of 197 percent compared to May 2020, 35 percent compared to May 2019, and growth in value of 221 percent compared to May 2020. Real estate sales transactions represented 74 percent of the total number of real estate transactions during May 2021 and achieved a growth of over 214 per cent compared to May 2020. The bulletin highlighted the top five areas for investor attractiveness. In villa sales, Hadaeq Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid topped the list in May 2021, followed by Wadi Al Safa 5, Wadi Al Safa 7, Al Thanyah Fourth, and Palm Jumeirah. In apartment sales, Dubai Marina, Burj Khalifa, Palm Jumeirah, Business Bay, and Al Thanyah Fifth topped the list in May 2021. It is expected that the real estate sector will witness increased growth and a greater recovery in the coming period, with the fast-approaching date of Expo 2020, which in turn will attract tourists and visitors from around the world and constitute a great opportunity for the real estate sector to strengthen its position regionally and globally.
