Palm Jumeirah, Emirates Hills, MBR Citylead surge as AED 40M+ deals hit record heights

Dubai, UAE, November 26, 2025: Dubai’s ultra-luxury villa market has moved past a post-COVID boom to become a stable global asset class, with record-breaking sales of AED40+ million properties and demand for elite ‘trophy’ homes on the rise.

Analysis by fäm Properties highlights AED 70M-AED100M deals climbing sharply, resales overtaking new sales, and the emergence of a ‘golden triangle’ of wealth between Palm Jumeirah, Emirates Hills and MBR City.

Data from DXBinteract also identifies Palm Jebel Ali, Tilal Al Ghaf and The Oasis as the next frontiers for ultra-luxury villas worth AED100M+ after handover in the next three years.

“Dubai’s AED 40M+ villa market is now a sustained global wealth segment, not a post-COVID anomaly, with strong resale demand and a limited supply of trophy homes driving prices higher,” said Firas Al Msaddi, CEO of fäm Properties.

“Over the last five years, there has been explosive growth in this sector, with transactions increasing more than ninefold, from 27 in 2020 to 210 in 2023, 242 in 2024, and a projected 199 in 2025.”

Transaction value jumped from AED 0.89B in 2020 to AED 15.98B in 2024, a 1,700% rise that effectively created Dubai’s ultra-prime villa market. The growth is fuelled by global UHNW migration and limited trophy homes in Palm Jumeirah, Jumeirah Bay, and MBR City.

Al Msaddi reacted to the surge by creating fäm Luxe, a new ultra-super-prime arm for Dubai’s UHNW buyers, making it the fäm Group’s 17th division.

Resales overtook new sales from 2022 onward, accounting for 58% of all AED 40M+ villa deals in 2024. Value-wise, resales jumped from AED 2.0 B in 2021 to AED 10.8 B in 2024, surpassing developer sales which stood at AED 5.96 B the same year.

“This confirms a mature investor cycle, where delivered ultra-prime stock – mainly on Palm Jumeirah, Jumeirah Bay, and Emirates Hills – now trades at liquidity levels once limited to off-plan,” said Al Msaddi.

Meanwhile, Palm Jumeirah, Emirates Hills, and MBR City have emerged as Dubai’s ‘Golden Triangle of Wealth,’ accounting for 56% of AED 40M+ villa transactions.

  • Palm Jumeirah: AED 19.38 B total since 2015 (31% of total value)
  • Emirates Hills: AED 9.04 B (15%)
  • MBR City: AED 6.40 B (10%)

Dubai has also seen the rise of AED 70M+ to AED 100M villa deals, which grew from negligible between 2015–2019 to over 170 villas between 2023–2025.

In addition, AED 100M–200M transactions totalled 83, and AED 200M+ deals reached 25 since 2021. Dubai now consistently records AED 200M–600M trophy sales, a category that barely existed before 2021, signalling institutional-grade global demand.

Data from DXBinteract also identifies Palm Jebel Ali, Tilal Al Ghaf, and The Oasis as the next frontiers for ultra-luxury villas worth AED 100M+ after handover between 2026–2028. It follows their entry into the sector for AED 40M+ villas as follows:

  • Palm Jebel Ali:has seen AED 2.23 B worth of sales in this category, mostly between 2024–2025.
  • Tilal Al Ghaf:has witnessed rapid resale momentum with AED 3.6 B worth of deals since 2023.
  • The Oasis: recorded AED 0.99 B in its first cycle following a developer launch last year.

RBI Holds Repo Rate at 5.25%; Realty Industry Sees Stability as Growth Driver The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) decision to maintain the repo rate at 5.25% and retain its ‘neutral’ monetary policy stance in the third bi-monthly Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting of FY27 has elicited a measured response from the real estate industry. While the sector had hoped for a rate cut to further enhance home loan affordability and stimulate housing demand, industry leaders believe the RBI’s decision reflects a balanced approach amid elevated global uncertainties, volatile energy prices, and inflationary concerns. They noted that stable interest rates will continue to support buyer confidence, provide financial predictability for developers, and sustain the momentum witnessed in the residential real estate market. Mr. Kamlesh Thakur, President, NAREDCO Maharashtra “The RBI’s decision to maintain the repo rate at 5.25% while retaining a neutral stance reflects a prudent approach amid global uncertainties and evolving inflation dynamics. While the industry was hopeful of a rate cut, policy stability itself provides confidence to both developers and homebuyers. With borrowing costs remaining unchanged, housing demand is expected to continue its momentum, particularly in the mid-income and premium segments. The upward revision of India’s GDP growth projection to 6.7% underscores the resilience of the domestic economy. Going forward, as inflation moderates in line with the RBI’s expectations, there could be room for a more accommodative monetary policy. A future rate cut would further improve housing affordability, strengthen buyer sentiment, and accelerate investments across the residential and commercial real estate sectors.” Mr. Kaushal Agarwal, Chairman, The Guardians Real Estate Advisory “The RBI’s decision to keep the repo rate unchanged brings continuity and predictability to the market at a time when global geopolitical developments and inflationary pressures continue to create uncertainty. Stable interest rates ensure that home loan EMIs remain broadly unchanged, allowing prospective buyers to make informed purchasing decisions without concerns over rising borrowing costs. The Indian housing market has demonstrated remarkable resilience over the past few years, supported by strong end-user demand, rising incomes, and growing confidence in the economy. With GDP growth projected at 6.7%, we expect housing demand to remain healthy across key micro-markets.” Mr. Shilpin Tater, Managing Director, Superb Realty “The RBI’s decision to maintain the repo rate is a balanced move considering the current global economic environment and domestic inflation outlook. Policy stability is particularly important for the real estate sector as it enables developers to plan projects with greater financial certainty while allowing buyers to benefit from stable lending rates. Demand for quality residential & commercial developments, especially in well-connected urban locations, is expected to remain robust. We remain optimistic that supportive monetary measures in the future could further strengthen investment activity.” Ms. Shraddha Kedia-Agarwal, Director, Transcon Developers “The RBI has adopted a measured and responsible approach by maintaining the repo rate while closely monitoring inflationary trends and global developments. Although a rate cut would have enhanced affordability for homebuyers, the decision to maintain stability provides confidence to both consumers and developers in an uncertain macroeconomic environment. The premium and luxury housing segments continue to witness healthy demand driven by aspirational buyers and strong wealth creation, while the broader residential market remains supported by genuine end-user demand. Stable financing costs, coupled with India’s improving growth outlook, should sustain market momentum.” Mr. Dhruman Shah, Promoter, Ariha Group “The RBI’s decision to keep the repo rate unchanged reflects its focus on balancing growth with inflation management amidst ongoing global uncertainties. For the real estate sector, policy continuity is a positive outcome as it preserves financial stability and ensures that financing conditions remain predictable for both developers and homebuyers. Stable interest rates, combined with sustained infrastructure investments and urbanization, will continue to support residential sales.”
