Betterhomes Reports Dubai Residential Property Market Remains a Global Magnet in H1 2025 with Sales Surging
The report highlights Dubai's continued ascent as one of the world's most dynamic real estate destinations, supported by a growing population seeking Dubai homes for sale, investor-friendly legislation, and a robust development pipeline.
Momentum Continues Across Segments
Compared to Q1, residential sales grew 33% in value and 19% in volume, underlining strong market momentum. The prime residential segment recorded a new benchmark with 1,417 luxury transactions in Q2, a 67% quarter-on-quarter jump and a 113% increase year-on-year which confirms a rising global appeal of luxury off-plan property for sale in Dubai among ultra-high-net-worth buyers.
"Q3 is shaping up to be an exciting phase for Dubai's property market," said Christopher Cina, Director of Sales at Betterhomes. "With around 20,000 new units already delivered and another 70,000 expected by year-end, the city is well-positioned to meet rising demand from investors and end-users alike."
Supply Expands, Prices Hold Strong
Dubai saw over 20,000 new units delivered in H1 2025, with Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC) leading completions at 20%, followed by Sobha Hartland (11%) and Mohammed Bin Rashid City (8%). Looking ahead, over 200,000 new units are projected through 2027 reflecting developer confidence in Dubai's long-term growth.
Despite the influx of supply, average property prices continue to rise, reaching AED 1,582 per square foot, a 6% increase from H2 2024 and up 3% from Q1 2025. Prices are now 18% higher year-on-year and 90% above the pandemic-era low of AED 833 per square foot.
Investor Activity and Cash Deals on the Rise
The report also revealed a strong resurgence in investor activity, with investors accounting for 58% of all transactions in Q2, up from 50% in Q1. Meanwhile, end-user activity dropped to 42%, as buyers sought rental income and capital appreciation in a high-demand market.
Cash buyers dominated the market in Q2, representing 52% of transactions, up from 42% in Q1. Mortgage deals fell to 48%, indicating an increasingly liquid buyer base, driven by high-net-worth individuals and international investors seeking swift deal closures.
Global Buyer Shifts Reflect Dubai's Expanding Reach
The UK overtook India to become the leading buyer nationality in Q2, driven by a 56% quarterly surge in transactions. India and Pakistan retained second and third positions, respectively, while Poland made its debut in the top five. Notably, Russia dropped out of the top 10 for the first time, with Ireland climbing to sixth.
As Dubai continues to draw global interest, particularly from European buyers, its property market stands firm as one of the most attractive and resilient investment destinations worldwide.

Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with LYB. Release Date: August 01, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Positive Points LyondellBasell Industries NV (NYSE:LYB) reported a strong safety performance with a top decile total recordable incident rate of 0.12, highlighting their commitment to operational safety. The company is strategically focusing on growing and upgrading its core businesses, particularly in regions with low-cost feedstocks like the United States and the Middle East. LYB is making significant progress in its cash improvement plan, targeting $600 million in cash flow improvements for 2025, up from the initial $500 million target. The company has successfully completed turnarounds at its Channelview complex, leading to improved operating rates and reduced downtime. LYB is advancing its circular and low-carbon solutions business, with projects like the MoReTec 1 chemical recycling plant in Germany progressing well. Negative Points The European market remains challenging for LYB due to high feedstock and energy costs, coupled with insufficient regulatory support, impacting global competitiveness. The company has decided to delay certain growth investments, including the Flex 2 project, due to current market conditions, which may impact future growth potential. LYB's cash flow from operations was negative in the first half of 2025, primarily due to working capital build and additional tax payments. The Advanced Polymer Solutions segment continues to face challenges with sluggish automotive production volumes and lower demand from construction and electronics. The Technology segment experienced a decline in EBITDA due to inventory cost adjustments and changes in sales mix, with subdued licensing activity across the industry. Q & A Highlights Q: Given the operating leverage and price increases, what sort of sequential lift should we expect in O&P Americas, and is there potential for additional price increases? A: (Peter Vanacker, CEO) We expect an $85 million improvement in Q3 due to less downtime following successful turnarounds. Operating rates are planned at 85%. (Kimberly Foley, EVP) Historically, back-to-back price increases are rare without major supply disruptions, but positive indicators like improved export demand and low global inventories suggest potential for a price increase in Q3. Q: With the current downturn, how secure is LyondellBasell's dividend, and what are your thoughts on shareholder returns? A: (Peter Vanacker, CEO) We will pay our Q3 dividend of $1.37 per share. Our liquidity remains strong at $6.35 billion, and we prioritize maintaining our investment-grade rating. We are not planning further share buybacks in 2025 and 2026, focusing instead on improving cash flow by at least $1.1 billion over these years. Q: Does the 2026 CapEx forecast of $1.4 billion include the potential benefit from the European asset sale? Also, can you elaborate on the precious metals opportunity in IND? A: (Agustin Izquierdo, CFO) The $1.4 billion CapEx for 2026 is based on our existing base. The $110 million reduction from the European asset sale will be realized once the transaction closes. (Aaron Ledet, EVP) We are transitioning to a silica-based catalyst in our VAM unit, which will gradually impact us through 2028. We realized $35 million from precious metal sales in Q2. Q: Can you comment on the general level of cash flow generation expected for 2025 and the factors affecting it? A: (Agustin Izquierdo, CFO) Our cash flow from operations was negative in Q1 due to a working capital build and additional tax payments. However, Q2 saw a positive cash flow of $359 million. We expect strong cash conversion in the second half of the year, targeting an 80% cash conversion for the full year. Q: Regarding MoReTec 2, was the decision to delay FID due to market dynamics or cash conservation, and how does this affect your circular strategy targets? A: (Peter Vanacker, CEO) MoReTec 1 is progressing well, and we see positive regulatory momentum in Europe. MoReTec 2's FID is delayed to align with market development and prudent capital allocation. We will complete front-end engineering and design by year-end and will proceed based on market conditions and brand owner commitments.

Same-property net operating income increased by 1.2% on a cash basis and 1.6% year-to-date. Leasing activity was robust, with 334,000 square feet of leases completed, 80% of which were new or expansion leases. The company acquired The Link, a trophy lifestyle office property in Uptown Dallas, which is expected to be immediately accretive to earnings. Cousins Properties Inc (NYSE:CUZ) increased the midpoint of its guidance to $2.82 per share, representing a 4.8% growth rate over the previous year. Negative Points Occupancy rates declined due to the known move-out of OneTrust at North Park in Atlanta and the expiration of Bank of America's lease in Charlotte. The office market remains uncertain with ongoing concerns about tariffs and interest rates. Phoenix was the only market that did not post rent roll-ups, facing tough comparisons. The Neuhoff project in Nashville experienced a lull in office leasing activity earlier in the year. Despite strong leasing activity, the overall volume was down sequentially compared to the previous quarter. Q & A Highlights Q: Can you provide more context around the acquisition of The Link in Uptown Dallas, including the growth potential and replacement cost considerations? A: Michael Connolly, President and CEO, explained that The Link is a strategic acquisition in a rapidly growing submarket. The property has rents significantly below market, a strong rent roll, and minimal CapEx needs. The acquisition was made below replacement cost, aligning with Cousins Properties' strategy to upgrade portfolio quality in an accretive manner. Q: Are you seeing a lot of potential acquisitions in the market, and how attractive is the current deal flow? A: Jane Kennedy Hicks, Chief Investment Officer, noted that Cousins Properties is continuously evaluating both on-market and off-market opportunities. The company anticipates more opportunities fitting their criteria in the second half of the year as capital markets continue to open up. Q: Can you discuss the decline in leasing spreads in Phoenix and the overall market performance? A: Richard Hickson, Executive Vice President of Operations, mentioned that Phoenix was the only market not to post roll-ups in rent due to a tough comparison with a single lease. However, the overall market performance remains strong, with broad-based strength in leasing spreads. Q: What is the status of the Neuhoff project in Nashville, and what challenges are you facing there? A: Jane Kennedy Hicks, Chief Investment Officer, expressed excitement about Neuhoff, noting strong leasing activity for the apartments and increased interest in the commercial space. The project faced a lull in office leasing earlier in the year, but recent tour activity has picked up, indicating positive momentum. Q: How are you approaching potential dispositions, and what types of properties are you considering selling? A: Michael Connolly, President and CEO, stated that any dispositions will be driven by new investment opportunities. The focus will be on properties with older vintages and higher CapEx profiles, as well as non-core land with potential for higher and better use, likely in the multifamily sector.
