Mumbai, March 1: Real estate brokers and developers in Dubai have indicated that the ongoing conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran may signal the end of the recent property boom in the region, potentially leading to a decline in property sales in the coming days.
Brokers noted that missile attacks targeting American bases in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries could undermine the long-held perception of Dubai as a safe haven for wealth during conflicts. This perception had previously attracted investors from Russia, Ukraine, Pakistan, and Afghanistan following regional crises.
According to brokers, following Iran’s targeting of American bases near Dubai, investors may await clarity on whether this conflict will escalate into a prolonged war or resolve quickly. While demand for real estate in Dubai may decrease due to this conflict, a drop in prices is not anticipated at this time.
In 2025, Dubai recorded over 215,000 real estate transactions, with a sales value of approximately $187 billion, driven by demand for luxury properties and interest from foreign buyers, including those from India.
Various videos circulating on social media show Iranian missiles and drones approaching military bases and other critical infrastructure, which local security forces have managed to thwart. UAE government media reported one fatality related to the Iranian attacks.
UAE officials confirmed an attack on a building in the Palm Jumeirah complex, resulting in four injuries, while several media reports indicated that the world’s tallest building, Burj Khalifa, was evacuated as a precaution.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced a new wave of attacks targeting American and Israeli military bases in the Middle East on Sunday. These attacks are reportedly in retaliation for recent American-Israeli strikes that resulted in the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
