CBRE reports a more measured housing market
Dubai housing activity is moving into a more moderate phase, according to CBRE’s UAE Real Estate Market Review for Q3 2026, published on 3 November. The consultancy reports slower transaction activity, price growth and rental increases as housing supply expands.
Offices remain tight
The same review places Dubai office occupancy at approximately 95%. CBRE describes sustained demand for high-quality offices and limited near-term supply, illustrating why residential and commercial property should be assessed separately.
Imlaak analysis: Compare the individual property
A slower pace of growth does not establish a uniform fall in values. Buyers should compare recent transactions in the same building or neighbourhood, completion timing, service charges and realistic rental evidence. Citywide occupancy also cannot establish the letting prospects of a particular office.
Scope of the update
These are CBRE’s market observations, not a forecast of returns or a guarantee for any Imlaak property. This update summarises the report’s public findings; it does not substitute for property-specific due diligence.
