“Despite the fact that many decided to travel for the first time in over a year during the holidays, Q4 didn’t seem to see a slowdown in sales transactions. Investor sentiment remains strong, demand is still very high and supply is dwindling. This has put an upward pressure on prices as they still continue to rise and will most likely continue into H1 of 2022,” said Lynnette Sacchetto, director of research and data at Property Finder.
Property Finder said Expo 2020 Dubai appears to have had an impact on the local real estate market. Since its start on October 1, 2021, the Dubai real estate market has seen a total of 17,942 sales transactions worth Dh46.75 billion. This is the highest volume and value the Dubai real estate market has transacted during a quarter in over 8 years.
