Market Overview

The Dubai Property Market

Dubai offers full freehold ownership for all nationalities across an extensive network of designated communities. Gross rental yields typically run 5 to 8 percent, with affordable, high-demand areas such as Jumeirah Village Circle reaching the upper end. A one-time 4 percent DLD transfer fee applies, with no annual property tax and no capital gains tax.

The market ranges from prime addresses in Downtown Dubai and Palm Jumeirah to high-yield communities like JVC and Business Bay, plus a deep off-plan pipeline from Emaar, DAMAC and Sobha. Properties registered at AED 2 million or above qualify for the UAE 10-year Golden Visa. District Real Estate holds RERA Dubai licence 818563.
