Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the face of Dubai’s real estate market in the year 2025, bringing on-board a new generation of real-estate buyers who are younger. A new report by fäm Properties has clearly demonstrated that average age of buyers has decreased considerably in the last eight years – from 54 to 44 years in off-plan market and from 53 to 42 years in the ready or re-sale market.
The data, taken from the AI-enabled platform DXBinteract, demonstrates that the buyers aged between 36 and 45 currently account for 40% of off-plan sales and 44% of re-sales. Notably, the 21-25 years have increased its property acquisitions in off-plan by 38.6% and re-sale by 33.3% of last year.
Firas Al Msaddi spearhead of fäm Properties said: Older investors in the past used experience. Today, artificial intelligence and digital technology are guiding younger, tech-savvy buyers to figure out the market and make better choices.
It is now that AI tracks what the buyers are looking for, which features are of the greatest importance to them, and how trends change throughout the time. This helps investors, agents and buyers make more informed decisions in a much shorter manner of time.
Although human judgment is still significant in complicated decisions concerning properties, Al Msaddi believes that AI’s influence will increase as time goes by.
These revelations will be a show-piece at the sold-out GC 2.0 summit in Dubai tomorrow, with keynote speaker Mo Gawdat, former Chief Business Officer at Google [X]. He will be accompanied by Al Msaddi and Dr Mahmood AlBurai, both from Dubai Land Department.
The report also indicates that the 41-45 and 36-40 age brackets lead the transaction volumes, followed by a younger age group, especially of 26-30, which witnessed the highest year-on-year growth in the re-sale purchases with a 31.9% increase.
