    The Dubai real estate market index "Greed & Fear" offers an exciting, subjective insight into market sentiment. Konrad & Marc Schwitter evaluate and bundle 12 factors - a creative and visual representation for our investors. Inspired by Warren Buffett's famous advice: "Be cautious when others are greedy and greedy when others are cautious," we guide you through the Dubai real estate market.

    Fear Greed

    Existing properties

    The secondary market offers more security and attractive rental income, while around 100,000 advertised apartments ensure a broad supply. As far as price increases are concerned, there is no longer much imagination to be expected - but the market is convincing with substance instead of speculation. Our conclusion: solid, realistic and investor-friendly.
    Fear Greed

    Off-Plan

    The off-plan market offers potential - but not without risks. Choosing the right developer is crucial, especially with the many handovers from the end of 2025. Our conclusion: cautiously optimistic. Those who make a targeted selection and invest with foresight can still profit.
    Fear Greed

    Total market

    The market remains attractive - strong rental yields and a liquid secondary market ensure stability. Although price increases are limited there, the risk and cash flow are convincing. Higher profits are tempting in the off-plan segment, but a selective approach is crucial. With many handovers from 2025, the momentum could slow slightly. Conclusion: there are opportunities - but not everywhere. Those who invest selectively will benefit.

    Dubai Islands gehört zu den spannendsten neuen Entwicklungsgebieten Dubais und steht für modernes Wohnen direkt am Wasser. Das Projekt umfasst fünf künstliche Inseln, die Wohnen, Tourismus, Freizeit und Natur miteinander verbinden. Ziel ist es, ein nachhaltiges, hochwertiges Küstenviertel zu schaffen, das sowohl für Eigennutzer als auch für Investoren attraktiv ist. Bereits 2022 haben wir erstmals über Dubai Islands berichtet; seither hat sich das Projekt kontinuierlich weiterentwickelt, und im Jahr 2026 präsentiert sich der Standort in einem weit fortgeschrittenen Entwicklungsstadium.

    The fourth quarter was a convincing end to a very strong year overall for the real estate market in Dubai. Despite geopolitical uncertainties and restrictive monetary policy in many parts of the world, the market remained robust. The months from October to December were characterized by high transaction activity, stable demand and a continued, albeit more moderate, price trend.
