The Dubai real estate market keeps breaking records, and off plan properties in dubai are at the heart of this boom. In 2025, off-plan deals made up nearly 70% of all residential transactions in the emirate, driven by ultra-flexible payment plans (60/40, 80/20, or even 1% monthly for years post-handover), rock-solid escrow protection under updated RERA rules, and average projected returns of 10–18% per year in high-demand areas.
Strict government oversight—mandatory separate escrow accounts, stage-by-stage fund releases only after independent inspections, and heavy penalties for developers—has turned what used to be a higher-risk segment into one of the safest real estate plays globally. Add zero VAT on residential purchases, no capital gains tax, and the possibility of a 10-year Golden Visa starting from AED 2M investments, and it’s easy to see the appeal.
Prime locations like Dubai Hills Estate, Dubai Creek Harbour, Palm Jebel Ali, and the new clusters near Al Maktoum Airport continue to show strong price growth.
Whether you're building a portfolio or securing a future residence with rental income potential, 2026 looks like another strong year for smart off-plan buyers in Dubai.
