UAE's world's safest country ranking creates 'safety premium' in real estate market
The UAE was named the world's safest country in mid-2025 and this top-tier security status has become a primary driver of the nation's booming real estate market. The UAE has climbed one place, becoming the safest country in the world this year, according to Numbeo's Safety Index by Country 2025 Mid-Year. Since the beginning of the year, the UAE's score has climbed from 84.5 to 85.2 on the index, surpassing Andorra, which held the top spot at the beginning of the year with a score of 84.7 (currently 84.8). The designation is creating a tangible 'safety premium,' attracting a wave of global investors and residents who prioritize security alongside financial returns, fueling record-breaking transactions and boosting investor confidence. 'We are witnessing a fundamental shift in investor priorities. Safety is no longer a secondary benefit; it is a primary asset class,' said Jason Farr, sales director at NOVVI Properties . Safe haven for global investors and HNWIs The UAE's reputation for safety and stability is directly translating into a robust and resilient real estate sector. In the first half of 2025, Dubai recorded over AED431 billion in property transactions, a 25 percent increase year-on-year, with more than 59,000 new investors entering the market. According to NOVVI Properties, this surge is intrinsically linked to the nation's secure environment. 'Global investors and high-net-worth individuals are seeking safe havens for both their families and their capital. The UAE's consistent high ranking in global safety indices provides an unparalleled level of assurance, making real estate here one of the most attractive and secure investments worldwide,' added Farr. This investor confidence is bolstered by a strong, transparent regulatory framework overseen by entities like the Dubai Land Department (DLD) and the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA). The mandatory use of escrow accounts for off-plan projects ensures that investor funds are protected, minimizing risk and fostering a climate of trust. Read| Dubai real estate: Off-plan market surges 43 percent in Q2 2025 with $16.4 billion sales Significant growth expands across all seven emirates The impact of safety extends across all segments of the UAE real estate market. While luxury properties continue to attract significant attention, the sense of security is also encouraging families and professionals to set down long-term roots, driving demand for villas and apartments in established and emerging suburban communities. 'The feeling of security is a powerful catalyst for the residential market. Clients are not just buying a property; they are investing in a lifestyle defined by peace of mind. This confidence is expanding the market's geographic footprint, with significant growth now seen not just in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, but across all seven emirates, including hotspots in Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah,' notes Brian Flanagan, head of leasing at NOVVI Properties. As the UAE continues to build on its reputation for safety, stability and economic diversification, the real estate market will maintain its strong upward trajectory, cementing its status as a premier global destination for secure and profitable property investment.

Empowering retirees to secure a long-term future in the UAE
As the UAE continues to position itself as a top-tier retirement destination for global citizens, NOVVI Properties is stepping up to support retirees through every stage of their relocation journey, from selecting ideal properties to navigating the country's long-term residency visa pathways. With no income, capital gains, or inheritance tax and a high standard of living backed by world-class infrastructure, the UAE is becoming increasingly attractive for foreign nationals planning their retirement. The government's introduction of the Retirement Visa Programme and expanded Golden Visa options is part of a wider strategy to welcome experienced professionals and high-net-worth individuals seeking a stable, tax-efficient lifestyle. The Retirement Visa allows eligible individuals aged 55+ to obtain a renewable five-year residency without the need for a local sponsor. Applicants must either own Dh1 million in property, maintain Dh1 million in UAE bank deposits or demonstrate an annual income of Dh240,000. Processing is fast and transparent, with family sponsorship options and a 60-day grace period on expiry. Meanwhile, retirees with higher investment capacity may opt for the Investor Residence Visa (Dh5 million in property, held for 3 years), or the prestigious 10-year Golden Visa, available to those investing Dh2 million or more in UAE real estate, including off-plan and mortgaged properties.
