New market analysis from UAE-based unicorn Dubizzle Group shows a sustained recovery across the country’s property market, with key engagement metrics steadily climbing nearly two months after a period of regional uncertainty. The data, compiled from its Bayut and dubizzle property platforms, indicates that property seeker activity and high-intent enquiries are rebounding, reinforcing the market’s underlying strength.
Quick Facts
- Active users rebounded to 85% of the 2026 baseline.
- High-intent enquiries recovered to 80% of the baseline.
- Agent responses climbed to 107% of the baseline.
A Data-Driven Rebound
According to the report, user engagement has shown a significant comeback. Platform impressions reached 92% of the 2026 baseline, with views hitting 89%. When compared against 2025 levels, the market’s performance is even stronger, with impressions, views, and high-intent enquiries standing at 104%, 105%, and 108% respectively. This suggests that market activity is not just recovering, but is outpacing last year’s performance.
The analysis also highlighted a strong recovery in agent engagement. Average daily agent responses recovered to 107% of the 2026 baseline, reflecting a continued commitment from real estate professionals to serve clients despite shifting market sentiment.
A Shift Towards Transparency
The report notes a growing trend of users relying on verified data to make decisions. Engagement with Bayut’s data-led tools, such as TruEstimate™ and Dubai Transactions, showed continued momentum after the initial market adjustment.
“Periods of uncertainty often reveal the true strength of a market,” said Matt Gregory, Senior Director of Strategy at Bayut & dubizzle. “What we are seeing across our platforms is a measured and confident return of activity, supported by serious buyers, committed agents and increasingly data-led decision-making. The UAE real estate market continues to demonstrate maturity.”
Dubai’s Hotspots Driving Demand
Dubai continued to be a focal point for property interest. For ready apartment sales, Jumeirah Village Circle, Business Bay, and Downtown Dubai were among the most searched communities. In the villa segment, DAMAC Hills 2 and Dubai Hills Estate led interest.
Off-plan demand was also strong, with areas like Majan and Jumeirah Village Circle gaining attention for apartments, while The Oasis by Emaar and DAMAC Lagoons were popular for villa projects. Rental demand remained concentrated in established communities, with Jumeirah Village Circle leading apartment searches and DAMAC Hills 2 being a top choice for villa rentals.
