How Social Media Is Changing the Way Luxury Property Is Sold

Luxury Property Market Predictions for 2026 and 2027: London, Dubai, and Beyond
The luxury property markets that matter most to our buyers — London, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and the Caribbean — are all entering 2026 in different phases of the same cycle.

The buyers who spend the most — international investors, relocating families, high-net-worth professionals — begin their property search online, often on social media, months before they ever visit a marketing suite. Yet many developers, even those delivering exceptional schemes, still rely almost entirely on estate agents and portal listings to generate demand. The result
