More developers ≠ more opportunities.

And in this market, being selective matters more than ever.

I’ve been saying this since the market was at its peak. Today, it’s even more important to understand exactly what you’re buying, beyond the brochure and the sales pitch.

Studios and one beds made up 62% of September transactions.

Out of 10,207 deals, one beds took 35.76% and studios 26.24%. Two beds added 19.56%, and everything from three beds up shared 18.44%.

For investors, this is where the depth of demand sits. Smaller units trade more often, which usually means a wider pool of buyers and tenants when it is time to exit or re-let. Larger units move in far lower volumes, so pricing and timing matter more.

Volume is not the same as value, though. Before buying, check price per sq ft, rental yield, and the supply still due in that unit type in your area.

Q4 is here, and for many companies, it’s the final push to hit their targets.

That can create opportunities for buyers, especially when developers are more motivated to close deals.

But remember: an incentive doesn’t automatically make a property a good deal ⚠️⚠️

The numbers still have to make sense.

I’ll talk more about how to identify a genuinely good deal in another video 🎥

Dubai real estate: bubble?

The latest UBS Global Real Estate Bubble Index puts Dubai in the “elevated risk” category, with a score of 1.16, compared with 1.09 last year.

But some of the numbers behind the headline are interesting:

• Real house prices: +0.4% YoY
• Real rents: -4% YoY
• A skilled service-sector worker needs around 5 years of income to buy a 60 sqm apartment near the city centre.

For comparison, UBS puts that figure at around 11 years in London and 15 years in Hong Kong.

And Dubai doesn't operate in isolation. Its position as a regional business, tourism and investment hub continues to attract capital, companies and people from across the region and beyond.

So, is Dubai a bubble?

The numbers alone don't tell the whole story.

Dubai is not one market. Villa communities, townhouses, apartments, prime, off-plan and secondary are all behaving differently. Supply, rental demand, location, developer, entry price and exit liquidity can completely change the investment equation.

That's why I think the conversation needs to move beyond simply asking whether “Dubai is in a bubble.”

For anyone looking at the market today, the real question is where the numbers actually make sense and where they don't.

And that's where local market knowledge matters.

The safest investment isn't necessarily the one in the most talked-about area or the one with the highest projected return. It's the one where you've properly understood the fundamentals, the risks and the exit strategy.

The headline gets attention. The detail is what makes the investment.

If you're looking at Dubai real estate and want to understand what the numbers actually mean for a specific area or property, let's discuss.

Looking at my audience, I realised most of you are in the real estate industry.

But I’d like to hear more from the other side: the clients.

Buyers, sellers, investors, or anyone trying to make sense of Dubai real estate.

What questions do you have, or what is it you wish to discuss ?

The 4th corridor 🛣✅️

Dubai keeps expanding, and infrastructure will always shape where the next real estate growth stories emerge.

The Fourth Corridor could give a boost to a number of emerging communities and development zones further inland.

For real estate, this is less about the road itself and more about which areas suddenly become better connected, more accessible, and more attractive to live and invest in.

Worth watching closely.
