Rental prices in Dubai are expected to continue rising through 2025. Several factors are driving this upward trend, including strong demand from both international investors and an increasing expatriate population. The city’s growing appeal as a luxury destination, supported by infrastructure expansion and government policies such as the Golden Visa, is sustaining high rental demand.

In 2024, rental prices surged by approximately 20%, and this momentum is expected to carry forward into 2025. Analysts predict rental prices will increase by 5-7% annually due to a combination of factors like limited supply, population growth, and high investor interest. The surge in the delivery of new properties, particularly in 2025 and 2026, could bring some balance to the market, but overall, rental prices are likely to remain strong due to consistent demand outpacing supply​.

However, areas with a large number of new developments may see some price stabilization as more units become available, which could provide a bit of relief to tenants in certain segments of the market​.

For prospective renters, understanding the supply trends and focusing on emerging neighborhoods might help in finding more competitive rental rates.
