Dubai Property Market Holds Steady as New Launches Expand Supply

Market Pulse

Dubai Land Department figures as of September 26 show the median price at AED 1,696 per square foot, with 33,334 transactions recorded over the past 90 days. The year-on-year change of -0.9% suggests prices have largely stabilised after a period of rapid growth, pointing to a market that is absorbing new supply without significant strain. Transaction volumes remain robust, indicating sustained buyer interest across price segments even as the headline growth rate flattens.

New Launches Add to Supply Pipeline

Several new residential projects entered the market this week, reinforcing the steady stream of new supply that has characterised 2026. Wasl introduced Avenue Park Towers II in Al Kifaf, offering one- to three-bedroom apartments from AED 1.90 million with a 40/60 payment plan and completion targeted for Q1 2030. On Dubai Islands, Blue Marina Residence launched with one- to four-bedroom units starting at AED 1.97 million under a 50/50 payment structure. At the more accessible end, One Broker Group and Native Properties opened presale registration for Native Haus in Jumeirah Village Triangle, with studios from AED 699,000 and a 30/70 payment plan requiring a AED 20,000 expression of interest.

Community Milestones and Regional Context

Vision Developments held a groundbreaking ceremony for Sera Gardens in Dubai Production City on September 25, marking construction progress for the project. Beyond the emirate, Aldar's newly unveiled Talay and Talay Beach villa collections on Saadiyat Island, both priced from AED 13.50 million, underline continued investor appetite for waterfront living across the wider UAE market, offering context for how Dubai's mid-market launches compare regionally.

Industry and Technology Notes

On the proptech front, Alnair rolled out full 3D mapping capability, allowing users to rotate, tilt and view detailed building models along with shadow visualisations - a tool likely to support more informed site and unit selection for brokers and buyers alike. Separately, Imtiaz Developments hosted a broker tour on September 24 outlining its upcoming project pipeline, reflecting ongoing efforts by developers to keep agent networks engaged as competition for buyer attention intensifies.

With transaction volumes holding firm and multiple projects entering presale or launch stages, the coming weeks should offer further clarity on how new supply across Dubai and neighbouring emirates influences pricing trends into year-end.
