UAE Real Estate: 72% of Home Seekers Plan to Buy Within Six Months

The recent launch of Property Finder’s PF Market Pulse survey offers a valuable look into buyer and seller sentiment, and the findings highlight both resilience and maturity in the market.

Consistent Appetite for Property Ownership

According to the survey, nearly three in four respondents (72%) in May 2025 expressed plans to buy property within six months. This strong buying intent remained steady into June, with 69% of participants maintaining their commitment to property ownership.

This consistency underscores the enduring appeal of the UAE as a secure and rewarding investment destination, where buyers are motivated not just by lifestyle aspirations, but also by confidence in long-term value growth.

Market Sentiment Shifts on Pricing

While intent remains high, perceptions of pricing are evolving:

• In May 2025, buyers were divided, with 37% expecting prices to decline, 34% predicting increases, and 29% foreseeing stability.

• By June 2025, the outlook shifted, with 44% anticipating a price drop, 30% expecting increases, and 26% expecting stability.

This trend suggests that buyers are increasingly cautious and analytical, reflecting a more mature market where decisions are made strategically, rather than reactively.

What This Means for Investors and End-Users

For both investors and end-users, these insights present a dual opportunity:

1. Confidence in Demand – Strong buyer intent ensures liquidity and continued momentum in the property market.

2. Potential Price Corrections – With a portion of the market expecting a cooling phase, astute investors may find attractive entry points for prime assets.
