Dubai Homeownership Now Within Reach

Your First Home in Dubai? Easier Than Ever

Dubai has launched a new initiative that makes it easier for residents to purchase their first property. This program is a collaboration between the Dubai Land Department (DLD) and the Department of Economy and Tourism, involving more than 13 developers, 5 banks, and several strategic partners. The aim is clear: to encourage residential property purchases, enhance long-term local investments, and support Dubai's ambitious 2033 real estate strategy.

Who is the program for?

The new program is available to all residents living in the UAE who are over 18 years old, have a valid Emirates ID, and have never purchased property in the country. The value of the purchasable property can be up to 5 million dirhams. Importantly, there are no restrictions on renting out or reselling the purchased property, offering buyers complete flexibility.

Advantages that matter

Participants can gain access to several exclusive benefits:

- Discounted prices from selected developers

- Flexible payment schedules

- Interest-free installment registration fee

Registration happens through the official DLD website or the Dubai REST application. During the application process, interested individuals can specify their preferences—such as whether they want an apartment or a villa, and the price range they're considering. This data is directly communicated to developers, allowing them to quickly respond to demands.

Collaborating partners

The initiative includes renowned developers like Emaar, Azizi, Danube Properties, Wasl, Damac, Ellington, Nakheel, and Dubai Properties. Supporting banks include Emirates NBD, Commercial Bank of Dubai, and Emirates Islamic. Interested parties can easily browse real estate portals like Dubizzle, Property Finder, and Bayut.

10,000 new investors monthly

According to DLD data, currently, 10,000 new investors arrive in Dubai each month. The newly introduced incentive package aims to further increase this number. The ultimate goal is to reach a property transaction value of 1 trillion dirhams as part of the 2033 real estate strategy, making Dubai one of the world's most attractive real estate investment destinations.

Why is all this important?

Homeownership is not just a financial decision; it provides emotional and social stability. It offers security, roots, and a better quality of life. Dubai aims for residents to truly feel at home in the city. The newly launched program offers tangible support in making this a reality.

The initiative is both a financial opportunity and a strategic step and offers a chance for local residents, who have only dreamed of owning a home in Dubai, to make it a reality. If you are among them, it's time to act—because your first home is just one decision away.
