Dubai and Abu Dhabi have been ranked among the top five cities globally in real estate transparency, as per the Global Real Estate Transparency Index (GRETI) by JLL. Dubai saw a remarkable Dh37.3 billion in sales value in August 2024, a 33% jump compared to last year.
Dubai’s continued improvements in data, anti-money laundering laws, and market processes, especially through platforms like Dubai REST, have kept it highly transparent, boosting investor confidence. The city ranked 28th globally, while Abu Dhabi secured the 41st spot.
