Dubai Real Estate Sees Record Sales

Dubai's real estate market has achieved a record-breaking performance in the first 290 days of 2025, with property sales reaching Dh525.87 billion, surpassing the total sales for the entire year of 2024. The Dubai Land Department (DLD) data indicates 168,540 transactions since January, demonstrating strong investor confidence and market momentum. This surge in activity is fueled by robust demand for residential and luxury properties, alongside supportive government initiatives and a stable economy.

The growth is further highlighted by significant mortgage activity, totaling Dh140.66 billion across 33,780 deals, and property grants amounting to Dh42.73 billion through 7,637 transactions. Overall real estate dealings in the emirate reached Dh709.26 billion, already exceeding 93% of 2024's total. Industry leaders attribute this success to Dubai's vision, investor-friendly regulations, and world-class infrastructure, with sales multiplying significantly since 2020.

Key drivers of this exceptional performance include the strong demand for luxury properties and sustainable projects, along with programs like the Golden Visa, which have boosted international investment. The market continues to outperform global peers, supported by diverse property offerings and flexible payment plans.

Looking ahead, industry experts predict continued growth, forecasting a 10-15% increase in 2026, driven by foreign investments. The most recent weekly data shows Dh14.64 billion in real estate transactions across 5,494 deals, with Business Bay leading sales at Dh648 million, followed by other prominent areas.
