AI-powered technologies are driving a generational shift in Dubai's real estate market by drawing in younger buyers. A recent report from fam Properties highlights a significant decrease in the average age of buyers over the last eight years, with younger investors now dominating both the off-plan and ready/re-sale sectors. AI technology, like the DXBinteract platform, helps buyers and agents make faster, data-driven decisions, providing insights into market trends and buyer preferences. The impact of AI on Dubai's real estate industry will be showcased at the sold-out Game Changers 2.0 summit later this week.
Dubai's real estate market is currently undergoing a significant generational shift, with AI playing a pivotal role in attracting a new wave of younger buyers. A recent market report released by fam Properties reveals a sharp decline in the average age of buyers over the past eight years. In the off-plan sector, the average age of buyers has dropped from 54 in 2017 to 44 in 2025, while in the ready/re-sale market, it has decreased from 53 to 42 in the same period. Advertisement
This trend is further underscored by the figures from early 2025, showing that buyers aged 36-45 account for 40% of off-plan sales and 44% of ready/re-sale transactions. In particular, the 21-25 age group has increased their property purchases by 38.6% in the off-plan market and 33.3% in the ready/re-sale sector compared to the previous year. The data, sourced from the AI-powered platform DXBinteract, reflects the growing influence of advanced technology on the property sector, providing valuable market intelligence to a tech-savvy generation.
Firas Al Msaddi, CEO of fam Properties, explained that the real estate market, once dominated by older investors relying on experience, is now being shaped by AI and digital tools. These technologies are making the market more transparent and are helping educate younger buyers. While Al Msaddi noted that AI is not yet at a point where it can completely replace human judgement in investment decisions, he acknowledged its growing role in supporting decision-making as the technology continues to evolve.
The impact of AI, big data, and digital tools on the industry will be highlighted later this week by Mo Gawdat, former Chief Business Officer at Google [X], during the sold-out Game Changers 2.0 real estate summit in Dubai. Gawdat will join Al Msaddi and Dr. Mahmood AlBurai, Senior Director of Real Estate Policies and Innovation at the Dubai Land Department, at the event, where they will address an audience of industry professionals, developers, and tech leaders.
So far in 2025, the 41-45 age group has made up the largest share of off-plan sales, accounting for 21% of total transactions, closely followed by the 36-40 age group at 19%. The ready/re-sale market mirrors this trend, with the 36-40 age group representing 23% of all transactions. However, younger buyers have demonstrated the most significant year-on-year growth, particularly the 26-30 age group, which has increased its property purchases by 31.9%.
While AI has yet to fully replace human judgement, its influence is undeniable, and as the technology evolves, it will likely play an even greater role in guiding investment decisions. This trend marks an exciting future for the Dubai property market, driven by innovation and technological advancement.
