On average, the transacted price in the luxury sector hit AED3,500 per square foot, which is considerably higher than the total Dubai average of AED1,100\. However, the market data suggests that luxury property in the state is still considered affordable by global standards.

The Palm Jumeirah continued to outperform other Dubai districts, with prices for new villas rising by 50% in 2022, driven by a supply shortage and rapidly growing demand from elite international buyers.
