Indians, Russians and British buyers are Dubai's top property investors in 2023
There was a significant increase in buyers from Egypt, Lebanon, Pakistan and Turkey
Indian property investors surpassed Russians to claim the top position as the leading buyers of real estate in Dubai in 2023, according to the latest data released by Betterhomes.
The statistics reveal that the British and Russian buyers secured the second and third positions, respectively. This marks a shift from the 2022 scenario, where Russians, British, and Indians held the top three spots in the local property market.
Dubai witnessed unprecedented demand in 2022 and 2023, pushing prices to record last year for both villas and apartments, driven by high net-worth individuals and an increase in the population of expatriate workers in the emirate.
In addition, high capital and rental returns have also attracted foreign investors, pumping billions of dirhams into the real estate market last year.
"Dubai's real estate market continued to draw global attention, offering attractive returns to investors, security, a great lifestyle, tax efficiency, and a business-friendly environment for its expatriate population. Dubai experienced a substantial population increase, surpassing 100,000 new residents in 2023, emphasizing the city's sustained growth and enduring appeal," said Richard Waind, CEO, of Betterhomes.
In 2023, Dubai's key communities experienced a widespread increase in the average sales price of villas, ranging from 15 to 30 percent. A shortage of available inventory led to substantial increases in popular expat communities such as Arabian Ranches (up 25 percent), Dubai Hills Estate (up 29 percent), and Jumeirah Village Triangle (up 29 percent). Two noteworthy exceptions were Palm Jumeirah, where the average price of frond villas surged by 74 percent, and Jumeirah Golf Estates, where the average sales price saw a marginal decrease of 1 percent.
