“Supply is tightening. Resale liquidity beats every other waterfront area in Dubai.”Houman Jalouti
Who rents and buys in Dubai Marina
Marina is the most absorbed waterfront market in Dubai. Owner sales fell 19% YoY because owners are keeping units that produce rising rent. Short term holiday home conversion accelerated, pulling 7% of one bedroom stock off the long term market.
Dubai Marina supply and handovers
Zero new completions in the Marina core in Q1 2026. Remaining pipeline sits in Harbour and JBR-adjacent plots, none handing over near-term. Available ready stock dropped 14% QoQ, the largest contraction since 2022.
Is Dubai Marina a good investment?
Capital growth on a 12-18 month horizon. Net yield is only ~5% but the price move likely runs 8-12% over six months.
Areas similar to Dubai Marina
For exposure to the same wave at lower price per sqft, look at JBR or new Harbour towers before this thesis becomes consensus.
Dubai Marina property outlook, next 12 months
