In Q3 2025, Dubai’s rental market experienced a notable decline in rents for affordable and mid-tier apartments, dropping by up to 5% in popular areas such as Bur Dubai, Arjan, and Dubai Silicon Oasis. This decline provides tenants some relief as new supply rises and demand stabilizes, allowing greater negotiating power in lease renewals. The market is showing signs of maturity with increased new apartment handovers contributing to more housing options and balanced prices in the mid-market segment. This shift means GCC professionals and expatriates may find better deals and more flexibility when renewing or seeking accommodation in Dubai. The overall rental growth has slowed, with some areas seeing rents stabilize or slightly fall, especially in mid-tier apartments, amid a surge in leasing transactions.
