Hussein Khalaf Al-Marsoumi, CEO of MultiPlan Real Estate, confirmed that Dubai’s real estate market is strengthening its global position thanks to its ability to capitalize on regional developments to attract capital seeking stability. He highlighted the record performance in the first quarter of 2026, with sales reaching AED 175.88 billion and total transactions of AED 250.92 billion across more than 61,000 deals, reflecting investors’ shift toward safer and more organized destinations.
He explained that the market is witnessing qualitative and sustainable demand rather than speculative activity, with over 47,000 property sales recorded in just three months. He also emphasized the balance between ready properties, valued at AED 97.06 billion, and off-plan projects, valued at AED 78.82 billion, offering investors multiple options between immediate returns and future growth.
Al-Marsoumi also stressed the role of mortgage financing, which rose to AED 59.67 billion, marking a growth of 47.55%, alongside stable prices and an absence of selling pressure, reflecting owners’ confidence in the market. He added that demand is particularly strong for high-value properties and villas, with geographic activity spreading across multiple areas such as Al Yalayis 1 and Business Bay, supporting market sustainability.
He confirmed the expansion of other real estate sectors, including land and office spaces, in addition to the continued market momentum, with sales exceeding AED 42.7 billion in March. This highlights the market’s maturity and balance between growth and stability, maintaining Dubai’s global position as a leading real estate destination.
