As for the future of the market, Zarooni expects the demand for this type of property to continue increasing in the coming years, due to the growth of the population of Dubai and the greatest need for new housing units.

Hello, he also noted that the important government investments in infrastructure projects play a vital role in supporting this trend, especially as the Emirate seeks to reach a population of 5.8m by 2040.

This will contribute directly to boost real estate market activity and increase investment in new residential projects.

He added: “Modern real estate laws and the effective regulatory role of government agencies were among the most prominent factors that contributed to establish a stable and safe investment environment.”

He confirmed that the laws that guarantee the rights of investors, in addition to the strict regulations for projects outside the licensing plan, have increased confidence and transparency in the market, which makes the investment more attractive and less risky.

To Zarooni said that the improvement in real estate finance services has contributed significantly to the growing demand for new real estate projects, especially with some banks that offer minimum plans specifically for properties outside the plan.

This has provided a greater opportunity for first -time buyers to benefit from attractive returns.
