A new report indicates a significant shift in Dubai’s real estate market, with Artificial Intelligence (AI) increasingly guiding a younger generation of property buyers. According to the report released today by fäm Properties, AI technology is now tracking buyer searches, preferences, and evolving market patterns, empowering investors, buyers, and agents to make quicker, more informed decisions.
The data, sourced from the AI-powered platform DXBinteract, reveals a notable drop in the average age of property buyers in Dubai. In the off-plan sector, the average age has decreased from 54 in 2017 to 44 in 2025, while in the ready or re-sale market, it has fallen from 53 to 42.
Firas Al Msaddi, CEO of fäm Properties, commented on this trend, stating, “In the past, the market was dominated by older investors who relied on experience. But AI and digital tools are making the market more transparent, and educating tech-savvy younger buyers.”
The report highlights that buyers aged 36-45 currently constitute the largest segment, accounting for 40 percent of off-plan sales and 44 percent of ready and re-sale transactions in 2025. Notably, the 21-25 age group has shown a substantial increase in property purchases compared to the previous year, with a 38.6 percent rise in the off-plan sector and a 33.3 percent increase in the ready/re-sale market.
While acknowledging the growing influence of AI, Al Msaddi cautioned, “It’s too early yet to rely on AI alone to decide where to invest, and human judgement is still important in a complex real estate market. But AI’s role will grow as the tech develops.” 1
The increasing impact of AI, big data, and digital innovation on the real estate industry is set to be a key discussion at the Game Changers 2.0 summit in Dubai this Friday, where tech visionary Mo Gawdat, former Chief Business Officer at Google [X], will deliver the keynote address.
