Dubai residents establish longer tenures, averaging over a decade

Dubai residents are staying longer, with average tenure increasing to 10.5 years, up from 7.5 years in 2024. This surge indicates a shift from a transient hub to a long-term home, with nearly 60% planning to stay over a decade, reflecting growing confidence in the city's stability and prospects. The trend is supported by increased real estate transactions and a growing number of first-time investors, many of whom are UAE residents transitioning to property ownership.
