Real estate notched up record profits of almost AED60 billion from the re-sale market last year.
A report released by fäm Properties today showed the secondary market generated capital gains of AED 59.7 billion in 2024, representing 32% of Dubai's all-time high total re-sale value of AED 188.1 billion last year.
Underling the soaring value of investment in Dubai real estate and its global appeal, total re-sale profits last year were 34% up on 2023, completing a dramatic 1300% leap over the last five-years.
Data from DXBinteract covering 136 areas across the emirate revealed that the highest amount of capital gain, AED 6.48 billion, was achieved on Palm Jumeirah.
Prominent residential areas like Dubai Marina, Dubai Hills Estate, Downtown Dubai and Business Bay also featured in the top ten for annual capital gain.
So did Jumeirah Village Circle, which was also the top-performing area for ready property developer sales in 2024, and placed second after Dubai Marina in total re-sale transactions.
Firas Al Msaddi, CEO of fäm Properties, said:“The substantial capital gains realized by investors underscores the market's dynamism and the effectiveness of our regulatory framework, managed by an astute government.

Record total re-sale figures for 2024, up 21% in value and rising 14% in volume to 61,100 transactions YoY, reflected buyers shifting to ready homes, investors attracted by high rental yields, and Infrastructure upgrades increasing the appeal of properties.
