If rent hikes or sky-high property prices have been stressing you out, here’s some hope: UAE property prices are expected to ease starting 2026. With 150,000 new homes set to roll out between 2025 and 2027, analysts say the market could finally cool down.
What’s changing?
Moody’s predicts a “modest price correction” rather than a crash. Think of it as a breather—prices may not nosedive, but the crazy jumps we’ve seen recently could slow, making the market feel less cutthroat.
Renters, this one’s for you
By 2026, apartment hunters may have way more options and fairer rents. Landlords will likely need to compete harder, which could mean better deals and less stress while house-hunting. Villas will still be hot, but even there, the pressure could lighten up a bit.
Buyers, timing is everything
If you’re planning to buy, the upcoming surge in supply might work in your favor. Developers could throw in perks or flexible terms to attract buyers. The market won’t collapse, but it may finally offer smarter opportunities—perfect for first-timers or anyone ready to level up from renting.
