The most searched for when buying

In contrast, property buyers were drawn to areas like Dubai Investment Park (DIP), Jumeirah Village Triangle (JVT), and JVC for their investment value and proximity to upcoming infrastructure. Outside the main cities, Al Nahda in Sharjah and select areas in Ras Al Khaimah also saw rising buyer interest.
