This week on Taking Care of Business, Dan and Marc break down one of the most transformative years Dubai’s real estate market has seen.
They reflect on the key shifts that defined 2025, from the introduction of the Smart Rental Index to Dubai’s continued move towards greater transparency and data-driven decision-making. The discussion explores how falling interest rates, currency strength, and affordability pressures shaped buyer behaviour, and why demand remained resilient despite a changing economic backdrop.
Dan and Marc also unpack the realities of the off-plan and resale markets, highlighting standout launches, the appeal of master-planned communities, and where hype began to outweigh fundamentals. They touch on ongoing supply challenges, the rise of renovation strategies, and why margins are tightening for investors.
The episode closes with the biggest mistakes and missed opportunities of the year, alongside practical lessons for navigating 2026 with more clarity and confidence.
Tune in for grounded insight, real-world observations, and essential listening for anyone involved in Dubai’s property market.
