Price gains in Dubai’s residential property could moderate this year amid continued oversupply, after a surge in demand for larger homes helped end a six-year losing streak in 2021.
Residential prices rose 9.8% in 2021 on average, according to real estate consultancy Core. The increase was driven by single-family homes, known locally as villas, as people worked from home during the pandemic and sought out bigger houses.
