Dubai Property Market Outlook 2026

Transaction volumes keep setting records — here is what the data says about prices, yields and supply for the year ahead.

Dubai's residential market enters 2026 on the back of another record year of transactions.

Prices and yields Prime communities continue to lead capital growth, while mid-market districts such as JVC still deliver gross yields above 7%.

Supply pipeline A significant handover pipeline is due across MBR City and Dubai South, which should moderate rent growth in mid-market segments.

What it means for buyers End-users benefit from more choice at handover; investors should focus on communities with constrained new supply.
