Dubai enters 2026 with prices still advancing — annual prime growth of +6.8% on our Index, against a twelve-market average of +3.2%. The world's largest branded-residence market and its fastest prime grower.
At roughly $16,900 per square metre at the top decile, Dubai sits among the more accessible of the prime markets. Branded stock commands a premium of about +35% over comparable property here, and the very best assets take a median 71 days to sell.
The drivers are familiar and durable: scarcity of genuinely prime stock, an internationally mobile buyer base, and a flight to assets that hold value when the mainstream wobbles. Read Dubai alongside the other eleven markets in the full LPM Prime Index.
