Despite facing downward pressure in the one-bedroom apartment category, neighborhoods such as West Bay, Marina, The Pearl, and Fox Hills saw a positive shift. Notably, Fox Hills exhibited signs of recovery after several quarters of declining rents.

The report highlights that prime neighborhoods, including West Bay Lagoon, Legtaifiya, and The Pearl, saw a 2.2% increase in villa rental prices per square meter, while non-prime villas experienced a 5.7% rise. The Pearl notably reported a significant 17.7% increase in average rent per square meter, reflecting high demand in prime locations.
