What are the biggest risks of investing in Dubai property in 2026?

The main 2026 risks are oversupply (roughly 160,000+ units projected to complete) and a possible modest price correction in supply-heavy, mid-market and off-plan suburban segments, with some analysts flagging 10-15% downside in weaker areas. Manage risk by favouring prime or near-complete stock, stress-testing yields net of costs, avoiding over-leverage and diversifying across areas. Not financial advice.
