Dubai’s real estate market isn’t what it used to be — and in this episode, Junaid Merchant, Partner at Visionary Real Estate, explains why.

Back in the early 2000s, selling property looked very different. Advertising meant newspapers like Gulf News, and getting your face in print could cost up to AED 100,000. Fast forward to today, and social media has become the main stage — building trust, visibility, and reach before an agent even meets their clients.

Junaid also dives into a global shift no one saw coming: reverse migration. For decades, talent left the East for the “American Dream” or “European Dream.” Now, families and professionals are leaving the West in search of opportunity, safety, and stability — with Dubai emerging as the perfect middle ground.

And then there’s the market itself. Pre-2008, almost 90% of buyers were speculators betting on a young, unregulated market. Post-2008, skepticism remained. But today? Both local and international buyers view Dubai through a long-term lens. That’s why even if a slowdown arrives, the market won’t collapse — no panic selling, no fire-sale discounts.

✨ Dubai has matured: in marketing, in migration, and in mindset.

If you want to understand how far Dubai real estate has come — and where it’s heading — this episode is for you.
