Dubai’s real estate market surged to new heights in July 2025, recording AED63.6bn ($17.3bn) in property transactions, a 27 per cent year-on-year increase in value and a 24 per cent rise in transaction volume, according to the latest market performance report.
Booming off-plan sales, which saw a 123% increase in value year over year and demonstrated strong investor confidence in future developments, were the main driver of the surge. Many residents are switching from renting to owning, in order to protect themselves from rising rental costs, as evidenced by the more than 8,200 secondary market deals and the growing demand for smaller units. Indicating ongoing end-user activity, the market also witnessed a steady increase in completed real estate transactions. All things considered, Dubai continues to be a vibrant centre for long-term growth and real estate investment.
