Nonetheless, according to a report from property consultants Allsopp & Allsopp, Dubai’s prime residential communities experienced an average rent decrease of 21% in the third quarter of 2023. Allsopp & Allsopp reported a significant increase in rental transactions, with a 20% rise in rental transactions, and a 29% increase in new rental client registrations from July to September during the summer.
Transactional activity surged by 22%, with Q3 2023 recording 31,216 transactions compared to 25,503 in the same period in 2022. This increase in activity is also reflected in the total value of these transactions, which reached Dh 97.55 billion, marking a substantial 40% increase from Dh 69.5 billion in Q3 2022.
During the third quarter, office spaces in Dubai experienced a 25.5% annual increase in capital gains. The weighted average price for office spaces in Dubai stood at Dh14,230 per square meter.

The real estate performance in Q3 2023 reflects Dubai’s property market not only as enduring but also as a dynamic force of innovation and adaptability. The significant increase in transactions and market value serves as clear evidence of the city’s enduring appeal to global investors, showcasing Dubai as a resilient and forward-thinking real estate hub.
