Average Dubai property prices rise 3% quarter on quarter
Average property prices in Dubai climbed to Dh1,582 per square foot in the first half of 2025, data showed. According to the latest report from Betterhomes, Shaping Skylines | Q2 2025 Dubai Residential Real Estate Market, this represents a 6 per cent increase compared to the second half of 2024 and a 3 per cent rise quarter-on-quarter from Q1 2025. Prices now stand 18 per cent higher than in Q1 2024 and a notable 90 per cent above the pandemic-era lows of Dh833. Dubai's real estate sector continues its record-breaking trajectory in 2025, confirming the city's growing global real estate stature. With a growing population, investor-friendly policies, and a development pipeline that continues to deliver, Dubai is well-positioned for sustained growth in the years ahead, analysts say. Total residential sales in Dubai reached Dh151.8 billion in the first half of 2025, marking a 46 per cent year-on-year increase in value. Transaction volumes saw a 25 per cent uptick, with 50,485 units sold. Compared to the previous quarter, the market grew by 33 per cent in value and 19 per cent in volume, demonstrating sustained momentum building on Q1's performance. The prime market witnessed 1,417 transactions, marking a 67 per cent quarter-on-quarter increase from 851 deals in Q1. On an annual basis, activity has more than doubled, reflecting a remarkable 113 per cent year-on-year growth, underscoring the booming appetite for ultra-luxury real estate in Dubai. Supply growth remains strong, signalling ongoing developer confidence. Over 20,000 new units were delivered in the first half of 2025, with another 70,000 expected in the second half of the year. Looking further ahead, more than 200,000 additional units are in the pipeline through 2027. JVC led completions with 20 per cent. Christopher Cina, Director of Sales at Betterhomes, said: 'With approximately 20,000 new units delivered in the first half of 2025 and a further 70,000 expected by year-end, Q3 is shaping up to be an exciting phase for Dubai's property market. This upcoming supply is well-aligned with the city's growing population and strong investor appetite. Demand remains robust, particularly for apartments and ready villas, with healthy absorption of new launches. Both Q3 and the second half of 2025 are expected to reflect positive market sentiment, supported by a resilient economy, sustained end-user demand, and attractive rental yields.' Betterhomes data showed investor activity picked up in Q2 2025, accounting for 58 per cent of transactions, up from 50 per cent in Q1. End-user activity dropped to 42 per cent, as investors returned for rental yields and capital gains, reversing the more balanced split seen earlier this year. A significant shift in financing trends was witnessed in Q2. The market moved notably toward cash purchases, with cash transactions rising to 52 per cent in Q2 2025, up from 42 per cent in Q1. Mortgage-backed deals declined to 48 per cent, signalling a more liquid buyer pool led by high-net-worth individuals, international investors, and buyers seeking quicker closings. The UK now leads buyer activity, overtaking India with a 56 per cent jump this quarter. India and Pakistan maintained strong positions at second and third, respectively, while Poland entered the top five. Russia slipped out of the top 10 for the first time in years, making space for Ireland at sixth.

Dubai Sets Global Benchmark for AI Transparency
Arabian Post Staff -Dubai Dubai has introduced the world's first icon-based system to clearly signal whether content is crafted by humans, artificial intelligence, or a blend of both. Launched by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Human–Machine Collaboration classification marks a shift in content disclosure standards. The initiative requires government entities to adopt the system immediately, marking a drive towards accountability and public trust in an era of rapid AI integration. The HMC framework comprises five primary icons: All Human, Human-Led, Machine-Assisted, Machine-Led, and All Machine, each reflecting increasing levels of machine involvement. Developers can further specify nine functional icons to indicate AI contribution across tasks such as ideation, data analysis, writing, translation, visuals, and design. ADVERTISEMENT The system, developed by the Dubai Future Foundation and endorsed by Sheikh Hamdan in his capacity as Chairman of its Board of Trustees, is compulsory for all Dubai government research and knowledge publications. Media content, academic papers, technical reports, videos, academic journals and other multimedia outputs must now prominently display the appropriate icons. For non-government creators, the icons are voluntary but available for ethical transparency. Sheikh Hamdan said transparency is essential for distinguishing human creativity from machine efficacy. He urged global content creators—researchers, publishers, writers, and designers—to adopt the new classification as a norm. On LinkedIn, he stated: 'Today, we launch the world's first Human–Machine Collaboration Icons…a new global benchmark in the age of AI,' inviting worldwide adoption. The initiative meets growing demands for clarity around AI-generated content in scientific, academic, and creative fields. As AI technologies such as generative models and automation tools proliferate, distinguishing authorship becomes increasingly complex. The HMC system addresses this by offering concise visual indicators of machine involvement throughout a document's lifecycle. Beyond classification, the icons offer practical guidelines. Each icon can appear on the cover, footer, or bibliography of a document, with no numerical thresholds assigned. The nine functional icons enable precise reporting by highlighting stages influenced by AI, such as data collection or translation. The system avoids quantification due to challenges in objectively assessing AI contribution levels. Dubai's icon strategy is modelled on enhancing trust in public knowledge creation. Government entities in Dubai must adopt the icons; private sector use is labelled 'opt-in and voluntary,' encouraging transparency across broader sectors. The icons aim to build credibility in educational materials, annual reports, research briefs, social media content, public-facing campaigns, and design outputs. Industry experts have broadly welcomed the initiative. Fast Company Middle East noted the dual-layer approach offers transparency without excessive complexity, while Economy Middle East reported Sheikh Hamdan's emphasis on the blurred lines between human art and machine output. Gulf News cited the icons as a tool for 'honest self-assessment,' reinforcing accountability among content creators. Academics and publishers are now exploring integration possibilities. The system could become a template for journal submission protocols or university publishing frameworks. Concerns persist about compliance monitoring and the potential for misuse—some question whether creators may understate AI contribution or apply icons inconsistently across formats. Dubai Future Foundation has emphasised that icons are free to use and do not require licensing; they are copyrighted but freely deployable, with no prior permission needed. The foundation's intention is to encourage natural adoption in scholarly work, media, and social channels, promoting a culture of transparency rather than regulatory enforcement. Global observers note that while Dubai is first, other cities and institutions are likely to follow. The HMC icons address growing demand from research communities for AI disclosure standards, amid debates over authorship attribution, peer review confidence, and reproducibility. Dubai's initiative closes a gap in ethical AI practice by establishing a clear visual code for machine involvement. As AI-generated content becomes ubiquitous, its success will depend on global uptake, consistent application, and alignment with existing ethics and publishing standards. In the meantime, Dubai's icons offer a blueprint for transparency, setting a new bar for content creation in the AI era.
