Gauging Sentiment in a Hot Market
Following a record-breaking first quarter for Dubai’s real estate market, StakePredict was launched to capture investor sentiment on whether the exceptional growth could be sustained. The results paint a picture of continued optimism.
A significant 69% of respondents anticipate a further increase in property prices. Nearly half (49%) believe that transaction volumes could even surpass the high benchmark set in Q1, highlighting strong confidence in the market’s resilience.
A New Layer of Transparency
StakePredict aims to offer a new measure of market confidence by tracking how investor expectations evolve and comparing them against actual market performance. The platform allows participants to forecast future trends and see how their views stack up against verified data.
“What makes these first StakePredict results particularly interesting is the timing,” said Rami Tabbara, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Stake. “Dubai real estate entered 2026 with an exceptionally strong first quarter, setting a high benchmark for the rest of the year. Despite this, and despite broader global uncertainty, investors continue to show confidence in the strength and resilience of the market.”
Tabbara added, “StakePredict was created to capture exactly these moments, not only where the market is today, but how investors believe it will evolve. By measuring expectations and comparing them with verified market outcomes, we are creating a new layer of transparency around investor confidence and behaviour.”
Luxury Sector Holds Strong
Confidence extends firmly into Dubai’s high-end property segment. The survey found that 61% of participants expect transaction activity in the luxury sector to either maintain or exceed the levels seen in the first quarter of the year. This reinforces Dubai’s standing as a leading destination for global real estate investment.
The next edition of StakePredict is scheduled for mid-August, where investors will be invited to forecast trends for Q3.
