Dubai\u2019s property market continues to show positive sentiment, with buyer enquiries rising 38 per cent week-on-week, even as investors take a more measured and cautious approach to purchasing decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Louis Harding, the CEO of property brokerage betterhomes, said that the supply of new properties remains broadly in line with levels seen at the same time last year, while online engagement continues to rise. Website search traffic rose 14 per cent week-on-week, although it saw a slight dip last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEven in a more cautious environment, the market is still moving,\u201d Harding said. \u201cWhat we\u2019re seeing is buyers and sellers taking a more measured approach to decision-making, but the underlying interest in Dubai property remains strong.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Data by betterhomes show that buyer enquiries rose 38 per cent week-on-week following a brief period of softer activity. Property developers say that buyers tend to pause briefly following periods of unrest, but that Dubai\u2019s resilient market is allowing them to take a more \u201cmeasured\u201d approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the time of the interview, Rohit Bachani, co-founder of Merlin Real Estate, told \u062e\u0644\u06cc\u062c \u0679\u0627\u0626\u0645\u0632<\/em> that he was just completing a property purchase for 2-bedroom unit in Townsquare Nshama, which he committed to on February 15, almost two weeks before escalations began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He added that he is still closing at pre-conflict pricing, and explained that over 70 per cent of transactions continue to be cash-based, so sellers are not under pressure. \u201cThe result is stability in behaviour, buyers who understand the fundamentals are acting, not waiting,\u201d Bachani said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rohit Bachani, Co-Founder, Merlin Real Estate.

People are taking additional time to evaluate options, review financial structures, and move with greater clarity – but the intent to buy remains firmly in place,\u201d he told \u062e\u0644\u06cc\u062c \u0679\u0627\u0626\u0645\u0632<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell-capitalised buyers are closely monitoring specific opportunities, particularly where sellers may be under payment pressure or reconsidering commitments. These conditions tend to create targeted activity rather than a broad slowdown,\u201d the CEO said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Syed said that the brokerage is seeing continued engagement from Emirati investors, long-term GCC buyers, and established resident purchasers, especially those with strong liquidity who are \u201capproaching the market more selectively.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Farooq Syed, CEO of Springfield Properties.
