UAE Real Estate: 72% of Buyers Plan to Purchase Property in Next 6 Months
Property Finder survey shows resilient buyer demand despite evolving price expectations in UAE Real Estate.
Almost three-quarters of property seekers in the UAE are planning to purchase real estate within the next six months, according to the latest PF Market Pulse report released by Property Finder. The findings highlight sustained investor confidence and strong market momentum, even as views on pricing trends shift.
Strong Demand Signals from Buyers
The survey results reveal consistent appetite across July and August 2025. Nearly 70 per cent of respondents in July and 72 per cent in August expressed their intent to buy property in the near term, underscoring the resilience of demand in Dubai and Abu Dhabi’s real estate markets.
Despite adjustments in consumer expectations on prices, intent to purchase has not wavered. This sustained momentum reflects broader economic stability and the UAE’s continued appeal as a global investment hub.
The findings from PF Market Pulse for July and August reflect the strength of the UAE real estate market. Even as consumers adjust their views on price trends, their determination to buy remains steadfast.
Confidence Backed by Global Investment
The survey findings were reinforced by recent investment moves in the sector. Permira, Blackstone, and General Atlantic have collectively invested $525 million into Property Finder, further validating confidence in the region’s digital real estate ecosystem and long-term market fundamentals.
Shifting Views on Property Prices
While buyer sentiment on activity remains strong, opinions on price trends are becoming more nuanced:
- In August, 38 per cent of respondents expected prices to decline, down slightly from 40 per cent in July.
- Around 32 per cent anticipated an increase in prices, remaining flat over the two months.
- 30 per cent expected prices to remain stable, compared to 28 per cent in July.
This balance of expectations indicates a maturing perspective among buyers, who are preparing for different scenarios while maintaining readiness to transact.
The UAE continues to strengthen its position as a real estate and PropTech leader. Hosting 55 per cent of all PropTech startups in the MENA region, the country has emerged as a regional hub for real estate innovation. This technological advancement, coupled with steady buyer intent, is expected to drive continued growth across residential and investment sectors.
