Dubai's real estate market is experiencing a cooldown, with previously soaring rents and prices now becoming more accessible for residents. This shift follows military actions in the Middle East, which have impacted the city's image as a safe haven.

• Rental prices have decreased by as much as 15 percent for some residents.
• Several major developers, including Emaar and Binghatti, are proceeding with large projects, signaling confidence in a market rebound.
• Sales transaction values reportedly fell by 45 percent year on year in the second quarter of 2026, with the luxury sector particularly affected.
