Dubai real estate sales 2025
Record-breaking year for Dubai property market
Dubai’s real estate sector has achieved a new milestone, with property sales reaching Dh525.87 billion in just 290 days of 2025, officially surpassing the total sales value recorded throughout 2024.
According to data compiled by Emarat Al Youm from the Dubai Land Department (DLD), the city registered 168,540 sales transactions since January — compared to 180,860 transactions during the entire previous year. The record-breaking figures highlight unwavering market confidence and sustained investment momentum across all property segments.
Luxury demand drives growth
The surge in sales was fueled by robust demand in the luxury and residential property segments, bolstered by government initiatives, investor-friendly regulations, and a resilient economy.
During the same period, property grants totaled Dh42.73 billion across 7,637 transactions, while mortgage deals reached Dh140.66 billion through 33,780 agreements.
In total, Dubai’s real estate transactions hit Dh709.26 billion, representing more than 93% of 2024’s total, reflecting continued growth despite global market fluctuations.
Experts: Dubai continues to outperform global peers
Saleh Tabakh, CEO of Andalus Real Estate Group, noted that sales this year have multiplied sevenfold since 2020, confirming Dubai’s trajectory toward achieving the Dubai Real Estate Strategy 2033, which aims to hit Dh1 trillion in annual transactions.
He attributed this success to the emirate’s visionary leadership, world-class infrastructure, and stable legal framework that continues to attract local and international investors.
Mohammed Aboul Naga, CEO of Aboul Naga Real Estate Development, echoed the sentiment, highlighting strong demand for luxury, eco-friendly, and flexible payment-plan projects. He emphasized that programs such as the Golden Visa have played a major role in attracting long-term foreign investors.
Weekly performance reinforces strong market momentum
Dubai’s real estate sector continues to demonstrate steady weekly activity. In the past week alone, the emirate recorded 5,494 property transactions worth Dh14.64 billion, including Dh10.82 billion in sales.
Business Bay topped the list with Dh648 million in weekly sales, followed by Burj Khalifa, Al Yufrah 1, Dubai Investment Park 2, and Jumeirah Village Circle.
