Mars Finance News: On March 10, due to escalating conflicts in the Middle East, investor sentiment has become more cautious. The Dubai financial market real estate index has fallen about 20% over the past five trading days. This sharp decline has wiped out all gains made by the index in 2025. The index reached a peak of 16,910.3 on February 27, just before tensions in Iran intensified. Earlier this year, the index increased by approximately 15%, continuing a strong upward trend from previous years (up 63% in 2024 and 38% in 2023), reflecting strong investor interest in Dubai’s real estate market. According to real estate consultancy Anarock, Dubai’s real estate transaction volume in 2025 could reach nearly 917 billion dirhams, about $250 billion USD. This would be the highest transaction volume in the city’s history, with over 270,000 transactions throughout the year.
