Dubai luxury real estate 2025
Dubai’s ultra-luxury property boom continues
Dubai’s high-end residential sector continues its record-breaking trajectory in 2025, with 357 properties sold for over $10 million in the first nine months — a 26% rise from the same period last year, according to the latest Knight Frank report.
During Q3 2025 alone, Dubai recorded 103 ultra-luxury home sales, marking a 24% increase year-over-year, while 17 of those properties exceeded $25 million, more than doubling the figures from Q3 2024.
The total value of deals in this segment reached $2 billion, up 54% compared to last year, outpacing the growth in transaction numbers — pushing the average sale price above $19.4 million, a 23.8% increase year-on-year.
Record-setting transactions and lifestyle demand
The most expensive sale of the quarter was a seven-bedroom villa at Asora Bay by Meraas in La Mer, fetching an impressive $95.3 million.
Experts say Dubai’s luxury market continues to attract high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) seeking exclusivity and lifestyle-focused communities.
