| Dubai Property Market Update July 2021 |
| There are so many factors to account for when evaluating the Dubai Property Market which has since become quite a lot harder to speculate due to the current global pandemic. Having said that a few beneficial, unexpected trends have appeared to the current climate. The slow down of off-plan releases has enabled Dubai to create a healthier secondary market for residents as opposed to the majority of purchases being made by Investors. A good example is the Villa/Townhouse market, in 2015 it was reported a handover of 16,000+ villas in the period 2019 – 2021, the concern was that there would not be time to grow the population fast enough to occupy but with the change of lifestyle and work-life being imposed due to restrictions, many turned to lease or buying villas. Secondary sales for Villa/Townhouses saw a 61% increase in the number of transactions in Q1 2021 compared to Q1 2019 while apartment sales grew by 44% in the same period. Due to increased supply, rent across Dubai has fallen, with the exception of villas and townhouses which have seen an increase in the past 6-8 months due to increased demand, in line with similar trends witnessed in sales of the secondary market. |

Developers With no surprise, Emaar accounts for the majority of transactions amongst developers, consistently being recognized as the top seller of off-plan units. Emaar holds this position due not only to the location and quality of the build but also relevant to the large portfolio that the Developer holds.
