Property Activity in Dubai Increases in First Half of Year

Dubai's real estate market experienced robust growth in the first half of 2025, with 4,049 new activities registered, fueled by a strong regulatory framework and digital advancements. The Dubai Land Department (DLD) reported that real estate brokerage services for property sales led the way, accounting for 2,301 new activities, followed by leasing brokerage services with 1,279.

The DLD's Trakheesi System, the official platform for real estate activity registration, is a key driver of this growth. Mandatory registration on the platform includes services like property sales and leasing brokerage, property management, valuation, mortgage brokerage, and consultancy. Pre-approval is also required for activities such as real estate development and leasing of private or third-party properties.

This surge in new activities highlights the market's professional diversity. The streamlined processes, facilitated by an integrated digital ecosystem, enable clients to easily issue and renew licenses. These advancements support the Dubai Real Estate Strategy 2033, which aims to establish the emirate as a premier global property hub.
