Dubai Property Up 60 Percent in Five Years: 2025 Data Maps the Hot Zones at 1866 AED per Square FootA · FULL TRANSLATION

Dubai's five-year report card is in: average property prices climbed from 1,170 AED per square foot in 2020 to 1,866 AED in 2025 — a 60% gain, per DXBinteract data based on Dubai Land Department records, compiled by Dubai Research Institute Holdings. Two cuts matter for investors. First, the new-versus-resale structure: 2025 median prices were 1,718 AED for new sales and 1,481 for resales, but resale price growth (11.3%) outpaced new sales (6.7%) — the secondary market is catching up. Second, geography: Business Bay, Dubai Marina, Dubai South, DAMAC Islands and Jumeirah Village Circle led transaction values, with JVC alone clearing 18,000 deals a year — remarkable liquidity. Caveats for Chinese-speaking readers: market averages cannot price an individual unit; new sales require scrutiny of payment plans and future supply, resales of maintenance and fees. Against Japan's mature, transparent market, Dubai's higher returns pair with higher volatility and developer risk. Figures per the original report.
