Savills’ latest World Cities Prime Residential Index shows that capital values for prime properties in Dubai rose by over 5% in H1 2025. The growth was driven by steady immigration, strong investor confidence, and a constrained supply of luxury homes, placing Dubai just behind Berlin and Tokyo in the global ranking.

Savills projects further growth of 4% to 5.9% in the second half of the year, underscoring Dubai’s sustained appeal to global investors.

Prime segment rental values remained resilient, increasing 2.9% over the past six months and 13.3% year-on-year as of June 2025. Elevated lease renewal rates and sustained demand from high-net-worth individuals and international buyers pursuing long-term residency continue to underscore the market’s strength, despite a slower pace of growth compared to earlier years.

Dubai’s prime residential market continues to stand out for its resilience, even in the face of global headwinds, thanks to solid fundamentals,” commented Andrew Cummings, Head of Residential Agency at Savills Middle East. “The city’s world-class connectivity, investor-oriented regulations, and large-scale infrastructure projects cement its reputation as a top-tier international real estate hub. With relatively low transaction costs and strong prospects for price growth, Dubai remains a compelling destination for global investors.”
