Springfield Properties, a leading real estate brokerage in Dubai, has released its Q2 2024 report, revealing significant growth and robust performance in Dubai’s residential real estate market. This quarter has seen unprecedented increases in property values and transaction volumes, reflecting heightened investor confidence and sustained demand.
The report details a total transaction value for Q2 2024 of AED 123 billion, representing a 35.70% increase compared to Q2 2023. The total transaction volume also saw a substantial rise, with 48,220 transactions recorded, marking a 60.06% year-on-year growth. Notably, May 2024 was a standout month, with property values soaring to AED 47.3 billion—a remarkable 39.12% increase from May 2023.
Farooq Syed, CEO of Springfield Properties, said: “Dubai’s real estate market has demonstrated exceptional resilience and growth in the second quarter of 2024. Our data underscores the city’s strong investor confidence and its growing appeal as a global investment destination. The remarkable performance in May is a testament to Dubai’s robust market fundamentals and strategic urban development initiatives”.
The transactional values comparison indicates a steady upward trend. In Q2 2023, the total transaction value was AED 90 billion with 30,000 transactions. By Q1 2024, this had increased to AED 110 billion with 40,000 transactions. The continued growth into Q2 2024, with a transaction value of AED 123 billion and 48,220 transactions, highlights the robust health of Dubai’s real estate market.
In terms of market dynamics, the off-plan market showed strong performance, peaking at 10,836 units transacted in May 2024. This indicates a maintained upward momentum in off-plan transactions. Similarly, the ready property market saw steady growth, with 8,818 units transacted in May 2024, demonstrating continued investor interest and market confidence.
Dubai’s real estate market resilience and growth are driven by strategic investments, regulatory updates, and significant infrastructure projects. The UAE Central Bank’s projected 6.2% GDP growth by 2025 supports the sector’s resilience and national economic contribution. Additionally, the expansion of Al Maktoum Airport is anticipated to enhance property values and attract both residential and commercial investments, further bolstering the market.
Syed highlighted the impact of Al Maktoum Airport’s expansion, recent updates to the Golden Visa programme, and robust sustainability initiatives, stating, “These developments, alongside Dubai’s strategic focus on regulatory frameworks and continuous infrastructure enhancements, have significantly bolstered the city’s appeal. Combined with our market insights, these elements reaffirm Dubai’s position as a prime destination for investors seeking enduring value and growth opportunities”.
The economic benefits of millionaire migration to Dubai are also notable. The city continues to attract high-net-worth individuals, with projections of 6,700 new millionaires in 2024. This influx is expected to drive substantial growth in the real estate sector, reflecting Dubai’s appeal as a premier investment destination.
Looking ahead, the remainder of 2024 promises continued prosperity with a focus on sustainability, green and blue infrastructure, and the development of high-end mixed-use communities. These strategic initiatives are designed to provide modern living standards, promote a diverse range of needs, and attract a broad spectrum of residents and investors.
With a dedicated team of over 140 real estate professionals, Springfield Properties remains at the forefront of Dubai’s real estate industry.
