The real estate bulletin issued by Dubai Land Department (DLD) under the name ‘Real Estate Updates’revealedthat Dubai’s real estate market has maintained its appeal among local and international investors, despite the unexpected effects imposed by COVID-19.
Of the most prominent data cited in the bulletin to consolidate this fact was the entry of 10,728 new investors to the market, representing 70% of the total number of investors throughout the first nine months of 2020.
