John Lyons, managing director of Espace Real Estate, said: “There is a notable trend whereby new residents rent for their first one or two years before becoming the next wave of buyers looking to set down longer-term roots for business and lifestyle reasons.
“New residents and the rental market in general help to absorb a large number of newly completed properties.”

The villa communities attracting the highest rent increases in H1 of 2024 compared to H1 of 2023 are Palm Jumeirah (+93%), Jumeirah Islands (+47%), and Dubai Hills (+32%)John Lyons said: “While there will be a surge of rental supply in 2025 and 2026, 80% of this supply will be apartments which tend to accommodate a lower number of households, and therefore the projected population growth required to absorb the supply is often overestimated.
“Furthermore, is it important to note that residential supply must appeal to three distinct and growing demand pools: population growth (residents), exclusive use second home/holiday home buyers, and investors targeting the rising tourist market through managed holiday home investments”.
