Dubai: the Emirate’s property market took another leap toward full transparency and data-driven decision-making, mirroring practices long established in the U.K. Firas Al Msaddi, CEO of fäm Properties, noted that British sites like Rightmove and Zoopla set the bar by providing buyers with price histories, time‑on‑market data and council tax information before viewings, and Dubai is now following suit On February 17, 2025.
The Dubai Land Department has begun publishing detailed transaction figures, and at the heart of this shift is DXBinteract—a platform created by fäm Properties to deliver real‑time market intelligence. Brokers, investors and buyers can track sales volumes, pricing trends and supply‑demand dynamics on verified data rather than speculation, laying the groundwork for a more professional and trustworthy market.
Beyond listings, Dubai is gearing up for sustainability‑driven commercial leasing similar to the U.K.’s Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards. Knight Frank reports that green‑certified buildings in Britain command rental premiums of up to 12.3 percent, and developers in Dubai are already investing in energy‑efficient upgrades to attract global tenants. While DXBinteract does not yet include building classification metrics, it is rapidly expanding to cover every facet of market activity.
This evolution reflects a broader, whole‑of‑government ambition to balance profitability with social responsibility and bolster investor confidence. As Dubai aligns its regulatory framework and consumer tools with international best practices, the city cements its role as a leading, tech‑savvy real estate hub where smarter deals rest on greater trust.
