Dubai’s real estate sector continued to demonstrate strong resilience in 2025, with leading developers achieving impressive sales results across both high-end and budget-friendly property segments. Recent market data highlights balanced growth, reinforcing confidence among investors and end-users alike.
Transaction activity remained high at both extremes of the market, particularly for properties priced above AED 15 million and below AED 2 million. This dual momentum reflects a healthy market structure capable of supporting diverse buyer profiles without reliance on a single segment.
According to a report by fäm Properties, Emaar retained its position as the market leader by outperforming competitors in total sales value, project deliveries, and new project launches. Data from DXBinteract shows Emaar recorded sales worth AED 65.8 billion, followed by Damac Properties with AED 35.9 billion and Binghatti with AED 26 billion.
Throughout 2025, Emaar launched 54 new developments and completed 27 projects, delivering a total of 7,318 residential units. By year-end, the developer also held the largest pipeline in the city, with more than 51,000 homes under construction.
Binghatti stood out for transaction volume, climbing four positions in the rankings to become Dubai’s top developer by number of sales. The company closed 17,061 deals, surpassing Damac (15,393 transactions) and Emaar (13,149 transactions), marking a particularly strong year for the brand.
In the luxury segment, Nakheel led the market for properties valued above AED 15 million, generating AED 16.9 billion from 672 high-value transactions. Meraas followed with AED 9.5 billion from 289 deals, while Emaar secured AED 15.7 billion from 680 luxury sales.
Meanwhile, the affordable housing segment saw Binghatti dominate once again, recording AED 16.2 billion in sales from 14,627 transactions for homes priced below AED 2 million. Damac Properties ranked second in this category with AED 8.4 billion generated from 6,828 transactions.
Commenting on the market’s performance, Firas Al Msaddi, CEO of fäm Properties, noted that strong results in both luxury and affordable categories indicate diversified demand. This balance underscores the long-term stability of Dubai’s real estate market, driven by consistent interest from investors as well as end-users.
