Start Your Property Search in Dubai 

You can try to search for available properties online, but note that most property finder websites are slow to update, so you may be missing out on new listings or chase ones that are no longer available. The best way to find properties in Dubai is to contract a realtor or firm like Constant Real Estate. We already have several properties listed, know the area, and have contacts in the development sector. We also have real people that you can talk to and even meet for tours or walk-throughs. Simply outline what you’re looking for and firms like Constant Real Estate can start to find a property that matches your needs. 

Property prices in Dubai are on the rise but it is still one of the cheapest major cities in which to buy property. As of 2024, the average cost per square foot is just $468, which when compared to New York ($1,612) or Hong Kong ($2,000), seems quite reasonable. Prices for property in Dubai can be expensive, but when compared to other major metropolitan areas, it’s very affordable. If you’re having trouble making your budget work, Constant Real Estate can help find a property that fits both your budget and your needs. 

Once you find properties in Dubai you may be wondering if you should buy or rent. Currently the market is favoring buyers, but both options present advantages and disadvantages. Buying is more expensive up front, whereas renting is better for short term ventures. Regardless of what you’re interested in, Constant Estate can help you find what you’re looking for at a price that’s easy on your budget. 

The simple answer is “anyone.” Any person, citizen or not, with the capital and ambition needed to compete in one of the hottest real estate markets in the world can buy property in Dubai.

If you’re a foreigner who wants to invest in the UAE or Dubai property market, or if you’re trying to get started on a limited budget, Constant Real Estate can help you purchase a property that fits your status or budget. We work on commission, which means no payment responsibility for you, and we have contacts all over Dubai and the UAE, meaning your perfect property is only a click away. 

Thanks to the 2002 freehold property law, immigrants can purchase any property listed as freehold properties by the Dubai Land Department. Freehold areas include The Palm Jumeriah, Downtown Dubai, the Burj Khalifa, Dubai Marina, Emirates Hills, Barsha Heights, Blue Water Island, and Business Bay. The UAE doesn’t charge taxes on rental income or property purchased by foreigners, so it’s definitely worth investing in Dubai real estate. 

Yes the property is yours forever. There is no property tax in Dubai for properties owned, meaning that when you purchase a property, there are no taxes, lease periods, or other hold-overs. What you buy in Dubai is yours.
