Demand for Dubai property is booming as the governments handling of the pandemic and its liberal visa policies attract more foreigners. The luxury end of the market is also benefiting from an influx of investors such as Russians seeking to shield their assets, crypto millionaires, and rich Indians setting up second homes.
The Betterhomes Residential Market Report showed Indians topping the nationalities list in the June and September quarters - up from No. 2 in the first quarter when Britishers led the field - in the purchase of new homes for end-user demand or investors seeking better yields and Golden Visa eligibility. Indians have consistently been among the top five homebuyers in Dubai.
