Dubai has 96,585 homes entering the market in 2026, 83% are already sold

In 2026, Dubai is expected to have 96,585 homes entering the market, with 83% of them already sold, according to a new market analysis from fäm Properties. The analysis reveals that villas are experiencing a particularly strong absorption rate, with 95% of the 5,376 villas having been sold. Apartments, on the other hand, account for 80,127 residential properties, with an absorption rate of 82%.

Some residential areas, such as Al Wasl and Wadi Al Safa 5, have reached 100% absorption for homes scheduled for delivery in 2026. The strong demand for villas and apartments in Dubai is attributed to the city's transparent regulatory framework, consistent quality of development, and the growing population and wealth base of the region.
