Dubai Prime Properties Record Highest Capital Value Growth in Q1

Dubai's prime residential market has shown remarkable growth, outpacing major global cities according to the latest Savills report. The real estate services provider highlights that Dubai's capital value increased by 2.9% in the first half of 2024 (H1), making it the leading market in the Middle East. In contrast, prominent gateway cities such as New York, Singapore, and London experienced a decline in their property values.

The Savills Prime Residential World Cities Index places Dubai in the fifth position among 30 global cities, with Lisbon, Amsterdam, Madrid, and Athens leading the chart. Notably, Lisbon saw the highest growth with a 4.2% increase in capital values.

Andrew Cummings, Head of Residential Agency at Savills Middle East, commented on the attractiveness of Dubai’s market: “On a price per square foot basis, Dubai continues to offer immense value to investors and end-users seeking high-quality, luxurious homes with excellent amenities. The emirate’s lifestyle and connectivity enhance its appeal, making it one of the most desirable destinations globally.”

Cummings attributes the market’s success to unprecedented transaction volumes and values. “We are witnessing the launch of world-class projects by top brands and developers in Dubai and the wider UAE, driven by increasing demand.”

Looking ahead to the second half of 2024 (H2), Dubai has also excelled in rental value growth, leading the global rankings with a 12.1% increase. Bangkok follows with a 9% rise, and Lisbon sees a 7.5% growth. Savills attributes this surge to the strong lifestyle credentials of these cities and the influx of corporate relocations.

Despite these gains, Savills notes that global supply constraints are expected to maintain high rental values relative to capital values throughout the remainder of 2024 and into the medium term. Kelcie Sellers, Associate Director at Savills World Research, explains that high interest rates are contributing to caution in the sales market, pushing potential buyers towards prime rental markets. However, anticipated interest rate cuts in the latter half of the year may prompt these buyers to re-enter the sales market, potentially alleviating price pressures.

In summary, Dubai's prime residential market continues to outperform global peers, driven by robust demand, high-quality developments, and a favorable lifestyle offering, setting the stage for continued growth in both capital values and rental returns.
