Dubai property prices: where they rose and fell – July 2022

Palm Jumeirah villas continue to record the strongest growth as the market's upward momentum continues

Dubai property prices continued to grow in July but are still some way below the market peak in 2014.

Average residential prices increased 9.9 per cent annually in July, with apartment prices up 8.7 per cent and villa prices rising 17.8 per cent, property consultancy CBRE said in its latest report.

On a monthly basis, apartment prices grew 1 per cent and villa prices rose 0.8 per cent in July, the report said.

“Despite the summer period, which usually has more subdued activity levels, sales activity in Dubai’s residential market remained buoyant in July 2022, with 6,524 units transacting in the month, up 50.8 per cent from a year earlier," said Taimur Khan, head of research, Middle East and North Africa at CBRE in Dubai.

Total transaction volumes in the year to July 2022 reached 45,793 — the highest recorded since 2009 over this period. Despite strong activity, average prices are below the peaks recorded in 2014.

Average rates per square foot of Dh1,114 ($303) for apartments and Dh1,335 for villas are 25.1 per cent and 7.6 per cent below the peak witnessed in late 2014, CBRE said.

Knight Frank meanwhile recorded a 10.1 per cent increase in average residential prices across Dubai at the end of the second quarter, and noted that "values are growing at a more sustainable rate".

The prime market in particular is strong, where demand has not only remained steady, but continues to intensify, it said.

Property prices in Dubai have been rising significantly since last year on the back of the UAE's broader economic recovery after the coronavirus-induced slowdown as well as initiatives such as the expansion of the country's Golden Visa programme.

Areas that recorded the highest price increases

The biggest price growths were again recorded in the emirate's most expensive areas, such as Palm Jumeirah, MBR City and Jumeirah Golf Estates, according to the CBRE report.

Villa prices on Palm Jumeirah have now risen by more than 4 per cent during each of the past four months.

Knight Frank puts Palm Jumeirah villa price growth at 51 per cent in the past 12 months and at 68 per cent since the onset of the pandemic.

Prices for villas in District One and Dubai Hills Estate expanded by 30 per cent in the past 12 months, it said.

Abu Dhabi rents at their most attractive since 2016

“The severity of the shortage of new supply, combined with insatiable international demand has driven prime residential prices up by an extraordinary 70.3 per cent in the last 12 months," said Faisal Durrani, partner and head of Middle East research, Knight Frank.

"The caveat to this stellar growth is that average transacted prices in these exclusive precincts stands at Dh2,900 per square foot, or $800, making Dubai one of the most ‘affordable’ luxury residential markets in the world — it is in fact four times cheaper than prime neighbourhoods in New York, or London.”

During the first six months of 2022, Knight Frank recorded 82 ultra-prime deals — these are homes priced at more than $10 million. This compares with 93 ultra-prime deals in all of 2021.

In the affordable segment, data from EFG Hermes showed the market was down 10 per cent month on month in July to Dh9 billion owing to lower off-plan and ready-unit sales, although selling prices were up 5.2 per cent month on month at Dh1,560 per sq ft.

Are Dubai rents on the rise as well?

Residential rents are also up 23.7 per cent yearly, posting the highest rate of growth since May 2014, according to CBRE.

"In terms of the top three locations for apartment rental growth, in the 12 months to July 2022, rents in Palm Jumeirah, Downtown and Dubai Marina ... increased by 39.8 per cent, 38.4 per cent and 35.7 per cent on average respectively,” it said.

In the second quarter, rental growth on an annual basis stood at 15 per cent on average for apartments and 23 per cent for villas, property consultancy Asteco said.

It expects rental rates to “remain elevated” for the rest of the year, but growth is predicted to slow during an oversupply of units.

Tips to stay safe during hot weather
  • Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids, especially water. Avoid alcohol and caffeine, which can increase dehydration.
  • Seek cool environments: Use air conditioning, fans, or visit community spaces with climate control.
  • Limit outdoor activities: Avoid strenuous activity during peak heat. If outside, seek shade and wear a wide-brimmed hat.
  • Dress appropriately: Wear lightweight, loose and light-coloured clothing to facilitate heat loss.
  • Check on vulnerable people: Regularly check in on elderly neighbours, young children and those with health conditions.
  • Home adaptations: Use blinds or curtains to block sunlight, avoid using ovens or stoves, and ventilate living spaces during cooler hours.
  • Recognise heat illness: Learn the signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke (dizziness, confusion, rapid pulse, nausea), and seek medical attention if symptoms occur.
Conflict, drought, famine

Estimates of the number of deaths caused by the famine range from 400,000 to 1 million, according to a document prepared for the UK House of Lords in 2024.
It has been claimed that the policies of the Ethiopian government, which took control after deposing Emperor Haile Selassie in a military-led revolution in 1974, contributed to the scale of the famine.
Dr Miriam Bradley, senior lecturer in humanitarian studies at the University of Manchester, has argued that, by the early 1980s, “several government policies combined to cause, rather than prevent, a famine which lasted from 1983 to 1985. Mengistu’s government imposed Stalinist-model agricultural policies involving forced collectivisation and villagisation [relocation of communities into planned villages].
The West became aware of the catastrophe through a series of BBC News reports by journalist Michael Buerk in October 1984 describing a “biblical famine” and containing graphic images of thousands of people, including children, facing starvation.

Band Aid

Bob Geldof, singer with the Irish rock group The Boomtown Rats, formed Band Aid in response to the horrific images shown in the news broadcasts.
With Midge Ure of the band Ultravox, he wrote the hit charity single Do They Know it’s Christmas in December 1984, featuring a string of high-profile musicians.
Following the single’s success, the idea to stage a rock concert evolved.
Live Aid was a series of simultaneous concerts that took place at Wembley Stadium in London, John F Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, the US, and at various other venues across the world.
The combined event was broadcast to an estimated worldwide audience of 1.5 billion.
