The GCC residential market is experiencing a remarkable surge in wealth and investment, driven by the relocation of an estimated 18,000 high-net-worth individuals in 2025. Key destinations such as Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Riyadh are leading this influx, supported by robust economic fundamentals and expanding global appeal. Prime residential prices are projected to rise by 10–15% in these major cities, while Qatar, Oman, and Bahrain are expected to see more moderate growth of 5–8%. Rental yields remain healthy across the region, averaging between 5–8%, with Abu Dhabi and Riyadh offering the highest returns. This trend underscores growing demand for luxury real estate in the GCC.
