AI Drives Surge of Young Buyers in Dubai Real Estate Market
Tech tools reshape buyer demographics as summit sells out
A new wave of younger, tech-savvy investors is transforming Dubai’s property market, as artificial intelligence (AI) reshapes the way real estate transactions are made, according to a market report released today by fäm Properties.
The report highlights a notable drop in the average age of real estate buyers over the last eight years, falling from 54 in 2017 to 44 in 2025 in the off-plan segment, and from 53 to 42 in the ready or resale market. The findings, powered by insights from the AI-driven platform DXBinteract, signal a generational shift in the emirate’s booming property landscape.
So far in 2025, buyers aged 36–45 account for the largest share of both off-plan (40%) and resale (44%) transactions. Meanwhile, the 21–25 age group has posted the highest year-on-year growth, up 38.6% in off-plan and 33.3% in resale, underscoring the growing influence of digital natives in the real estate sector.
“AI and digital tools are making the market more transparent, and educating tech-savvy younger buyers,” said Firas Al Msaddi, CEO of fäm Properties. “While human judgment is still essential in a complex market, AI is becoming a crucial guide in helping investors and buyers make faster, smarter decisions.”
DXBinteract, the AI platform behind the data, uses advanced analytics to track buyer behavior, identify market trends, and provide real-time intelligence for investors, buyers, and agents. The platform’s growing popularity reflects a rising demand for tech-enabled property services, especially among younger demographics.
The impact of AI on real estate will take center stage at the sold-out Game Changers 2.0 summit this Friday, where former Google [X] Chief Business Officer and tech visionary Mo Gawdat will deliver a keynote at Dubai’s Coca-Cola Arena. He will be joined by Al Msaddi and Dr. Mahmood AlBurai, Senior Director of Real Estate Policies and Innovation at the Dubai Land Department.
The summit, with VIP tickets selling for up to AED 30,000, will bring together developers, tech leaders, and policymakers to discuss how innovation is shaping the future of Dubai’s property sector.
