Top investors are buying this “unlisted” stock

By handing keys to 2,000+ happy homeowners, Pacaso has already made $110m+ in gross profits.
Now, after 41% gross profit growth last year, they recently reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO. But the real opportunity is now, at the unlisted stage.

Fitch forecasts up to a 15% drop in Dubai residential prices in late 2025 and 2026 as deliveries double to 210,000 units, reversing a 60% post-pandemic surge. Banks and developers can absorb the decline, while prime locations and project delays may soften the impact.

Dubai Real Estate Transactions as Reported on the 29th of May 2025
On 29 May 2025, Dubai’s property market recorded AED 2.041 billion in transactions. Off-plan sales led with AED 1.157 billion (56.7% of total), while ready properties contributed AED 884 million (43.3%).
Sub-Category | Off-Plan (AED millions) | Ready (AED millions) |
|---|---|---|
Flats | 1,005.9 | 541.5 |
Villas | 125.6 | 136.8 |
Hotel Apartments & Rooms | 17.7 | 82.6 |
Commercial | 7.4 | 123.4 |

Flats: AED 1.006 billion (87.0% of off-plan)
Villas: AED 126 million (10.9%)
Hotel Apartments & Rooms: AED 17.7 million (1.5%)
Commercial: AED 7.4 million (0.6%)
Flats overwhelmingly drove off-plan activity, reflecting strong investor appetite for new residential launches. Villa transactions remain a meaningful niche, while hotel and commercial offerings are marginal.

Flats: AED 541.5 million (61.3% of ready)
Villas: AED 136.8 million (15.5%)
Hotel Apartments & Rooms: AED 82.6 million (9.3%)
Commercial: AED 123.4 million (14.0%)
Ready flats continue to dominate handover-driven sales, though the commercial segment has gained traction, accounting for 14% of ready volume. Villas and hotel units also contribute notably as buyers seek immediate occupancy.
On The Micro Level
Market Insights & Outlook
Strong flat demand across both segments underscores Dubai’s enduring residential appeal. The robust share of off-plan flats suggests confidence in forthcoming supply, while ready commercial growth points to rising corporate and investor interest. As the market absorbs new launches and handovers, expect continued flat-led momentum alongside measured expansion in villa and commercial sectors.
