Dubai’s real estate market recorded AED65.03 billion in total transacted value in April 2026, across 17,792 transactions.
This was a strong month-on-month rebound from March 2026, when total value stood at AED53.37 billion across 16,855 transactions. April’s value was up by AED11.66 billion, or 21.9%, while transaction volumes increased by 937 deals, or 5.6%. The sharper rise in value compared with transaction count suggests that April was driven not only by higher activity, but also by larger-ticket transactions, particularly in high-value off-plan sales.
Compared with April 2025, however, the market remained lower. April 2026’s AED65.03 billion was AED12.40 billion below April 2025’s AED77.42 billion, representing a 16.0% year-on-year decline.
The average transaction value rose from approximately AED3.17 million in March to AED3.65 million in April, an increase of 15.4%.
Total Market Performance
Category | Value | Share of Total |
|---|---|---|
Off-Plan | AED27.78bn | 42.7% |
Ready | AED11.28bn | 17.3% |
Land | AED25.96bn | 39.9% |
Grand Total | AED65.03bn | 100.0% |
Land was the major swing factor in April, contributing almost 40% of total market value. Off-plan remained the largest residential and commercial segment, while ready property activity was smaller by value but showed a strong mortgage-driven component.
