Dubai rental market is one of the strongest in the world in comparison to cities like London, New York or Singapore. It witnessed an average increase of approximately 15-20% in 2024 and rents are expected to rise steadily around 10-12% also in 2025, however more, 15-18% in prime areas such as Palm Jumeirah, Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina and Jumeirah Bay Island.
Why? The rising population together with a strong global investor interest have been the main driving factors behind property rentals and price increases in the post-pandemic years. Continuous influx of people moving to Dubai from all the world attracted by its status as a global business hub, no income taxes for individuals, safe streets and good healthcare system, is driving up demand for housing. Dubai’s population has grown by approximated 160,000 to 3.815 million residents in 2024 and is expected to increase further in 2025.
High-end central and beach-front areas are likely to see the sharpest rent increases due to limited supply and strong demand from affluent residents. However, suburban areas like Arabian ranches and Dubai Hills Estate may also experience notable increases, driven by families seeking lifestyle-oriented communities with various, e.g. golf, amenities.
