Commenting on the findings, Haider Ali Khan, CEO of Bayut, Head of Dubizzle Group MENA, and Board Member of the Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy, said:

“Dubai’s property market is entering a more mature phase, where new supply is increasingly aligned with genuine end-user demand rather than short-term speculation. While price sensitivity will always play a role, buyers and tenants today are placing far greater emphasis on lifestyle, location and build quality. Our focus at Bayut is to support this evolution by enabling clearer, more informed decision-making through reliable data, transparent listings and practical insights that bring confidence to every step of the property journey.”
