DAMAC Hills Property Sales Prices

Numerous reliable sources claim that Damac Hills continues to be one of Dubai’s best-performing villa communities, providing a powerful combination of rising prices, solid rental income, and resort-style living.

This makes it especially favorable to investors and residents looking for value outside of the city’s most desirable neighborhoods. During peak seasons, the area attracts both long-term residents (professionals and families) and tourists or corporate tenants, thereby stabilizing revenue streams.

Premium neighborhoods like Trump Estates experienced even faster growth (10% annually) than the rest of the Damac Hills community, which has seen a hike by 6–8% annually since 2018–2023.

For long-term residential rentals, typical yields average 8.5%, and professionally-managed short-term/vacation rental can hit up to 12%. Compared to central Dubai zones, which usually deliver 5–7%, these stack up favorably. Damac Hills property values have swelled at a rate of 4–6% per year consistently, supporting capital gains and rental returns.

What’s more, Damac Hills 2 was the best option for budget-conscious villa buyers in Dubai in H1 2025, with average villa prices rising 5.2% to AED 1,740,000 and prices per square foot rising 3.6% from H2 2024 to AED 983.

However, more extensive data from Dubai indicates that because of rising rent (30% decrease in lease renewals), tenants are choosing to purchase instead of renew.
