Data from DXBinteract shows that Azizi dominated the market for affordable properties below AED 2m. To date, the top ten developers in overall sales volume have recorded a combined 36,808 transactions valued at AED 86.8bn.
“The fact that Dubai’sleading developers have been driving sales across both the luxury and affordable segments throughout the year is clear sign of market strength. This shows that demand is not concentrated in one area, and points to a healthy, diversified market with steady demand from both investors and end-users.”
