Dubai’s First-Time Home Buyer Programme is helping UAE residents take their first step towards property ownership. Since its launch in July 2025, the programme has helped more than 3,200 residents purchase their first Dubai homes, generating more than AED 5 billion in residential property transactions.
Eligible buyers can benefit from advantages such as priority access to selected new property launches, preferential pricing and tailored home-financing options. The programme is open to UAE residents of any nationality who are at least 18 years old, do not currently own a freehold residential property in Dubai, and are seeking a property valued below AED 5 million.
For residents currently renting in Dubai, the programme provides another reason to explore whether purchasing a home could be a suitable long-term option.
