Dubai’s property market continues its record-breaking momentum, with the third quarter of 2025 marking an all-time high in both transaction volume and total value. According to official data, 59,228 properties were sold for a total of AED 170.7 billion, representing a 17.2% increase in volume and a 19.9% rise in value compared to the same period in the previous year.
Record-Breaking Performance Over Nine Months
In the first nine months of 2025, Dubai recorded 158,200 transactions worth AED 498.8 billion, reaffirming the city’s position as one of the most attractive and resilient real estate markets globally.
The strongest growth was seen in:
• Commercial properties — 1,565 deals worth AED 4.2 billion (+41.9% year-on-year);
• Land sales — 1,214 transactions worth AED 36.1 billion (+25.7%);
• Apartments — sales volume up 25.9%, reaching AED 94.3 billion.
Notably, 73% of all transactions in Q3 involved off-plan properties, underscoring investor confidence in developers and long-term market prospects.
Key Drivers Behind Sustained Demand
Dubai real estate resilience is driven by a combination of structural and policy factors:
• the Golden Visa program offering long-term residency to investors;
• expanded foreign ownership rights across major districts;
• and ongoing infrastructure development, enhancing connectivity and lifestyle quality.
The market also maintained strong momentum through September, showing no signs of the traditional seasonal slowdown.
For investors and analysts alike, this performance reinforces one clear message: Dubai remains one of the most stable, dynamic, and forward-looking real estate investment destinations in the world.
