Dubai has transitioned from an emerging property market to a globally relevant destination for real estate capital. For affluent and high-net-worth investors in ASEAN, it now features a diversified international property allocation strategy due to its macro stability, tax-efficient structure, global demand base, and robust fundamentals. Political and economic stability are among Dubai’s foundational strengths. The UAE’s policy of continuity and strong governance, supported by a US-dollar-pegged currency, reduces foreign-exchange risk and attracts international capital seeking reliable returns. Dubai’s legal framework for property ownership especially freehold rights for foreigners further enhances investor confidence. Tax efficiency is another structural benefit. There is no annual property tax, no capital gains tax on property sales, and no inheritance tax on real estate. Coupled with clear regulatory protections such as escrow accounts and title deed transparency, this improves net investor returns compared to many mature markets. Dubai’s market also benefits from diverse global demand with buyers from the Middle East, Europe, Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia supporting liquidity and exit flexibility. Demand is underpinned by genuine urban fundamentals: global transport connectivity, population growth, tourism appeal, and sustained rental demand. The market continues to deliver competitive yields and strong transactional growth, as reflected in the latest market data. These indicators underscore a market with growing value, solid transaction momentum, and attractive income potential, affirming Dubai’s appeal as a core component of international real-estate portfolio Download to see insights from other country marketsDownload

Hanoi's real estate market is facing challenges as rental yields have significantly fallen. While property prices have surged by 30–40% over the past year, rents have only risen by 8–10%, with many areas experiencing a plateau in rental income. This situation is making it increasingly difficult for property owners with mortgages to sustain their investments. The market outlook is further strained, with an abundant supply of high-end properties and secondary market prices remaining high, leading to a forecasted decline in yields. However, Hanoi’s real estate future looks promising due to major developments on the horizon. Authorities have approved a VND925 trillion (US$38 billion) sports complex project, developed by Vingroup, which willinclude a 135,000-seat stadium, the second largest in the world. This development is part of an OlympicSports Urban Area spanning more than 9,000 hectares, which is expected to significantly boost the city's infrastructure and attractiveness for both domestic and international investors.
