Each area has its own character, price tier and rental profile.
Dubai's real estate market recorded AED 761 billion in transactions in 2024 and continues to lead globally in off-plan sales. Foreigners can buy freehold in over 60 designated zones, all payments are held in DLD-mandated escrow accounts, and property above AED 2 million qualifies buyers for the 10-year Golden Visa. Zero personal income tax, zero capital gains tax and one of the world's most transparent title registers make Dubai the benchmark for global off-plan investment.
Everything a non-resident needs to know before signing a reservation agreement.
Foreigners can hold full freehold title in 60+ designated areas including Dubai Marina, Palm Jumeirah, Downtown, and Emaar Beachfront.
Every off-plan developer must register with RERA and hold buyer funds in a DLD-approved escrow account. Payments release only against certified construction milestones.
Purchases above AED 2M (โ$545K) qualify buyers for a renewable 10-year Golden Visa covering spouse, children and household staff.
0% personal income tax, 0% capital gains tax. One-time 4% DLD transfer fee (usually split with developer) and annual service charges (AED 12-25/sqft).
Taxes, rental income, legal structures and market timing โ the guides our buyers ask for most.
