Are UAE residents now choosing to buy homes instead of renting, and what is driving this shift?

Yes — new platform data shows a clear move toward ownership, with sales listing impressions rising to 49% in 2025 and rental activity declining, while about 70% of Dubai respondents say they plan to buy within six months, driven by long-term residency plans, ownership-linked visas, first-time buyer programmes, rising incomes, and growing confidence in settling long term; apartments still lead transactions due to affordability, villas show stronger price growth due to limited supply, and younger buyers aged 25–35 are emerging as a major force behind demand, signalling a more mature, ownership-focused property market — do you think it now makes more financial sense to buy rather than rent in the UAE, or is renting still the safer option?
