Q1 Off-Plan Market Insights: 2024 vs 2025 – Dubai’s Momentum Keeps Building

The Dubai real estate market has long been a barometer for regional and global investor sentiment — and if Q1 2025 is any indication, confidence is at an all-time high.

At Elite Property DXB, we’ve been closely monitoring off-plan trends, and the data speaks volumes. According to Reelly.ai, both sales volume and sales value in the off-plan segment have surged compared to Q1 2024. So, what’s driving the market? And more importantly, what does this mean for you?

Let’s break it down.

Off-Plan Sales Volume: Bigger Demand, Bigger Bets

• 2024 Q1: 22.1K transactions
• 2025 Q1: 27.8K transactions

That’s a 25.8% increase in the number of off-plan sales. The sharp rise signals strong investor appetite and end-user confidence in the city’s long-term growth, particularly in upcoming areas and mega-developments.

Off-Plan Sales Value: Capital is Flowing In

• 2024 Q1: AED 54.9 Billion
• 2025 Q1: AED 70.5 Billion

We're looking at a 28.4% increase in total value, proving that not only are more units being sold — they’re also commanding higher prices. Premium off-plan developments, including branded residences and waterfront communities, are fueling this surge.

What’s Driving the Growth?

Several factors are aligning to create a perfect storm of opportunity:

• Investor-Friendly Policies: Visa reforms, 0% income tax, and simplified property ownership laws.
• Expo Legacy Projects: Areas like District 2020 and Dubai South are seeing massive developer interest.
• Lifestyle Appeal: Dubai continues to attract high-net-worth individuals seeking luxury, safety, and global connectivity.
