Over the past three years, leads for properties priced above AED20 million have grown by 2.7 times
Dubai’s luxury property market has entered a new era, one defined by discerning global buyers, evolving expectations and a growing demand for authenticity, data and trust.
A quick search on Bayut’s Dubai Transactions page for properties priced over AED20 million in the much sought-after premium communities of Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Hills Estate, Tilal Al Ghaf, Downtown Dubai, MBR City, Jumeirah Golf Estates, Jumeirah Islands and Jumeirah Park shows that close to 800 transactions have taken place in a 12-month period. That’s a minimum of over AED16 billion.
$ 10.3 billion in private capital is focused on Dubai’s residential real estate
This trend is also evident among Bayut’s high-value audience, who are demonstrating a deeper, more deliberate engagement with luxury listings. Over the past three years, leads for properties priced above AED20 million have grown by 2.7 times, reflecting not only an increase in search activity for mansions, penthouses and exclusive villas, but also a marked rise in serious buying intent and conversion-driven actions among affluent users.
This behavior aligns closely with broader market trends. According to a 2025 Destination Dubai report, approximately $ 10.3 billion in private capital from global HNWIs is focused on Dubai’s residential real estate. Additional surveys point to strong interest among global HNWIs in owning luxury residences in the city, with non-GCC HNWIs showing especially high engagement at the upper end of Dubai’s property market.
According to internal Q3 2025 data from Bayut, the highest intent leads across Dubai’s top luxury communities for homes priced at AED20 million and above grew by 46 percent year-on-year, driven by strong activity for penthouses, mansions and waterfront homes in Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Hills Estate and Mohammed Bin Rashid City.
Palm Jumeirah alone recorded a 46 percent surge in high-intent leads, the highest among luxury districts, underscoring Bayut’s dominance in connecting serious buyers with high-value inventory.
Unprecedented buyer interest in Dubai’s most exclusive neighborhoods
In Dubai’s ultra-luxury villa and townhouse segment, properties priced above AED20 million are experiencing exceptional momentum based on data shared by Bayut. Prime communities, including Palm Jebel Ali, Nad Al Sheba Gardens and The Oasis by Emaar have recorded a combined surge of more than 500 percent in high-intent leads between Q3 2024 and Q3 2025, reflecting unprecedented buyer interest in the city’s most exclusive neighborhoods.
This heightened demand is further underscored by the fact that average listing leads for villas and townhouses in these areas have more than doubled year-on-year, reinforcing the sustained appeal of Dubai’s luxury property market.
Across all premium areas, leads-per-listing improved by 3 times since 2023, showing that Bayut’s audience delivers higher-quality leads rather than just higher volumes.
Bayut’s leadership isn’t self-proclaimed. According to a Leyhausen Survey, conducted among 1,000 active property seekers in Dubai, Bayut ranked number 1 across all major categories, including ease of use, listing accuracy, agent credibility and customer satisfaction.
As Dubai cements its position among the world’s top luxury property destinations, drawing ultra-high-net-worth investors from Europe, Asia and the Middle East, Bayut has positioned itself as the digital gateway to this exclusive market. Its seamless integration of authentic listings, AI-driven valuation and professional credibility ensures that every luxury transaction is backed by insight, not instinct.
