Dubai has seen a drastic rise in demand for new homes since Covid-19 restrictions were lifted. Buyers from all over the world are making a beeline to invest in Dubai in order to take advantage of affordable prices and interest rates. In June of 2021 alone, deals worth DHR 14.97 billion were made in Dubai, the highest since December 2013.
