Where to Invest in Dubai: Villas and Townhouses Are the New Goldmine

🔗 Contact Lisa: https://est.ins.is/302xpby 🔗 Contact Sunny: https://est.ins.is/303h4q4 In the new Inside Realty episode, Sunny and Lisa explain why villas and townhouses may become one of the strongest segments in 2026. There are around 700,000 apartments in Dubai, but only about 160,000 villas and townhouses. According to 2025 data, more than 90% of off-plan transactions are for apartments, which means the selection of houses is very limited. At the same time, Dubai’s population is growing and the city’s audience is changing. If previously people moving to Dubai were mostly 20–29 years old and career-focused, today there are more and more residents over 30, and the number of families with children is rising noticeably. This directly affects housing choices: people increasingly want full-fledged communities for living. In this video, our experts Sunny and Lisa walk through the areas of Dubai where houses are actively being bought, as well as districts that are only starting to be developed. They break down established communities and projects that are still under construction. The video will be useful for anyone looking for long-term investment opportunities.
