The graph above illustrates a steady increase in The Springs' property prices from late 2016 to 2024. However, price growth was not very high during the first four years, from the end of 2016 to the middle of 2020. In the range of AED 1000 to AED 1200 per sq. ft., a clear decline was observed in the second quarter of 2020, which may be attributed to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the world’s economy and real estate in general.

After this low, the market rose steadily, gradually enhancing from late 2020 onwards. Growth starts in the first quarter of 2022 and becomes prominent in the second quarter. It depicts the demand and value of the property as the price per sq. ft, which ranges from AED 1000 to AED 1700. In the more recent quarters, from mid-2023 to late 2024, the rate of increase stabilises, suggesting a potential market maturation at a new, higher price level. The possible reasons could be the conditions in the Dubai market, infrastructure growth, the demand for a family-oriented environment, the need for recovery after the period of COVID-19, and the boosting impact of Emaar’s experience as a contractor. The upward movement suggests that The Springs has been a good investment for investors, while the developing side may imply a sign of maturity in the The Springs market.
