Impressive Growth Sustained
The real estate market in Dubai grew at an exceptional rate even as conditions were not ideal due to shifts in consumer behavior and volatile overall conditions in the economy. Core behind the growth are newer Dubai laws and regulations that are designed to protect investor rights, which has helped to spur new confidence in the real estate market. More so, expatriate demand continues to mount as golden visas provide up to 10 years of access. Both international and domestic buyers are pushing sale volume to new heights.
