UAE residential real estate deals to grow 2.66% yearly through 2029

Dubai: Residential real estate transactions in the UAE are expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.66% between 2025 and 2029, according to a new global study published by Statista.

The data underscores the resilience of the UAE’s property market and its ability to attract consistent investment, thanks to strong government policy support, long-term urban planning, and the country’s continued appeal as a lifestyle and business destination.

Arabian Gulf Properties views the trend as a sign of sustained investor confidence and a maturing property landscape.

“This sustained market growth is a positive indicator for the real estate sector of the UAE,” said Badar Rashid Alblooshi, Chairman of Arabian Gulf Properties. “As demand matures and diversifies, developers must continue to innovate and deliver communities that serve the long-term aspirations of residents and investors alike.”

The company noted that real estate growth in the UAE is being shaped by increasing demand for livable, connected, and mixed-use communities—a trend expected to intensify as the country undergoes demographic shifts and economic expansion.

As the UAE transitions into its next phase of transformation, analysts expect the real estate sector—particularly residential segments—to continue acting as a pillar of growth, innovation, and urban resilience.
