Arabian Ranches, Dubai Hills Estate, Downtown Dubai, and Dubai Marina have remained the preferred choices among high-net-worth investors, while small-ticket investors focused on suburban areas, such as Dubailand, DAMAC Hills 2, Business Bay, and Jumeirah Village Circle.
Ata Shobeiry, CEO of Zoom Property, believes that the Dubai property market will break previous records in 2022.
“It’s certainly a good sign for Dubai real estate that key areas are performing up to their standards. While the increase in demand and price of luxury properties in Dubai has been driving the market, it’s the growth in the affordable property segment that indicates a well-rounded performance. With this high momentum, 2022 is surely going to conclude on a record-breaking note for Dubai real estate,” Shobeiry said.
Business Bay, JVC dominate the affordable segment
