Rise in Luxury Concierge Real Estate Driving the Market
The year 2021 was a landmark one for Dubai real estate market. Not only did it rebound, but it also posted record-breaking figures thanks to overseas investors, low-interest rates, and strong demand. The Dubai Land Department registered an astounding 71 percent growth in the value of total transactions in 2021 compared to 2020, shattering a 12-year record. Contributing to this performance was Luxury Concierge Real Estate (LCRE), a channel partner with leading property developers in Dubai.
In 2021, LCRE clocked sales worth AED 1.3 billion (USD 353.8 million) at the Dubai Land Department. Sales with Emaar Properties alone stood at approximately AED 383 million (USD 104.25 million), followed by Damac, which was about AED 203 million (USD 55.2 million).
Ten companies were selected by Damac to be a part of the elite round table group. This was based on the long-term association with the reputed brand as well as 2021 sales. This group gets access to Damac's many exclusive privileges, such as up-front product launch information, exclusive inventory in landmark projects, and a private office in Damac Sales Centre. This connection and access to big-name developers are one of the many advantages prospective buyers get when choosing LCRE.
