The market’s institutional maturity is clearly reflected in the rapid rise of real estate valuation activity, where new valuer registrations increased by 50% throughout 2025. The presence of 133 registered expert valuers has become a core component in assisting investors to make more accurate and measurable financing decisions. Furthermore, the banking sector in the UAE has demonstrated solid financial resilience by reducing real estate loan exposure to just 14% of total loans, providing a robust buffer against potential future price corrections. Market transparency has been further bolstered through strict controls on marketing activities; real estate advertising permits rose by 24%, totaling 26,044 permits—most of which are monitored via AI-based platforms to ensure the credibility of information. Service accessibility continues to expand, with the network of registration trustee offices growing by 14% and serving over 563,000 customers. For those seeking long-term wealth accumulation instruments, the combination of 5% economic growth and increasingly disciplined regulation ensures that Dubai remains a premier destination for international capital prioritizing security and efficiency.
