Soaring Property Prices Push Property Buyers to the Outskirts of Dubai

Real Estate in Dubai is experiencing shifts to the current trends as price-hunt soar up at aggressive off-plan payment packages causing buyers to flee from hot-spot locations into cheaper Outskirts of Dubai. Due to high demands from millionaires and the international market, prices soar up in central districts. These districts are Downtown and Business Bay, Palm Jumeirah, and Dubai Hills Estate. The areas gradually keep becoming too expensive for purchase.

Consequently, suburban and less expensive areas or outskirts of Dubai are experiencing much higher price rises. The third quarter of 2024 saw prices in communities like Discovery Gardens, Jumeirah Lakes Towers, and Dubailand (Remraam) jump by 43%, 34%, and 28%, respectively. Areas like City Walk and Dubai Hills Estate posted more modest increases at 12%.

With that, shifts in buyer preference will often be observed due to discrepancies in location prices. Most developers find ways to further attract market interest by extending very flexible and easy payment programs. Plans such as those as high as 80/20 or 75/25 have created off-plan prices of home property extremely hard for lower-income consumers desiring roomy houses, such as those found here.

Despite the increasing prices, demand for off-plan properties is still strong, and some developments sell out within hours due to competitive pricing, attractive locations, and good developers. Suburban areas are now a focus of both buyers and investors seeking value-driven opportunities as the market continues to evolve.
