AI technology now tracks what buyers search for, what matters to them, and how market patterns change, helping investors, buyers and agents make faster decisions
Dubai’s real estate landscape is undergoing a significant generational transformation, driven largely by the influence of artificial intelligence (AI), which is playing a pivotal role in drawing in younger property buyers.
A newly released market analysis by fäm Properties shows a marked shift in buyer demographics. The average age of buyers in the off-plan sector has declined from 54 years in 2017 to 44 years in 2025. In the ready and resale property sector, the average buyer age dropped from 53 to 42 over the same period. 📉🏠
“In earlier years, older investors with years of experience dominated the property market. But the introduction of AI and advanced digital tools has brought increased market transparency, empowering a younger, tech-savvy audience to make informed buying decisions,” said Firas Al Msaddi, CEO of fäm Properties.
AI’s Impact on Buyer Trends in Dubai Real Estate 💼📊
The report relies on data from DXBinteract, an AI-driven real estate analytics platform, revealing how AI is redefining buyer behaviors. As of 2025, 40% of off-plan transactions and 44% of ready/resale deals are attributed to buyers aged between 36 and 45.
Meanwhile, the 21-25 age group has increased their participation in Dubai’s property market significantly, with a 38.6% rise in off-plan purchases and a 33.3% surge in the ready/resale segment compared to the previous year. 🔄📈
AI tools now monitor buyer search patterns, understand their preferences, and detect evolving market trends—empowering investors, homeowners, and agents alike to make quicker and more strategic decisions.
“While it’s premature to rely entirely on AI for property investment decisions, and human insight remains crucial, AI’s influence is poised to grow as the technology matures,” Al Msaddi emphasized.
