Dubai Real Estate Transactions as Reported on the 2nd of July 2026
On 02 July 2026, Dubai’s total transacted value reached AED1.43 billion. Off-plan properties led the market with AED737.7 million, representing 51.6% of total transactions, while ready properties accounted for AED691.4 million, contributing 48.4%. The day showed a balanced market, with off-plan demand slightly ahead, while ready villas and flats continued to support strong end-user activity.
Category | Off-Plan (AED millions) | Ready (AED millions) |
|---|---|---|
Flats | 559.1 | 443.2 |
Villas | 81.6 | 177.2 |
Hotel Apt. & Rooms | 6.9 | 30.2 |
Commercial | 90.0 | 40.7 |
Total | 737.7 | 691.4 |
Off-Plan Market Performance
Total Value: AED737.7 million (51.6% market share)
Flats: AED559.1 million, contributing 75.8% of off-plan transactions
Villas: AED81.6 million, contributing 11.1%
Hotel Apartments & Rooms: AED6.9 million, contributing 0.9%
Commercial: AED90.0 million, contributing 12.2%
Off-plan activity remained heavily concentrated in flats, which accounted for more than three-quarters of the category’s total value. This reflects continued demand for apartment-led launches and investor-friendly payment plans. Commercial off-plan transactions also made a meaningful contribution at 12.2%, suggesting that demand is not limited to residential assets, with investors still positioning around Dubai’s expanding business and mixed-use districts.
Ready Market Performance
Total Value: AED691.4 million (48.4% market share)
Flats: AED443.2 million, contributing 64.1% of ready transactions
Villas: AED177.2 million, contributing 25.6%
Hotel Apartments & Rooms: AED30.2 million, contributing 4.4%
Commercial: AED40.7 million, contributing 5.9%
Ready transactions were also led by flats, but villas played a stronger role compared with the off-plan segment. Ready villas contributed 25.6% of the category, showing continued appetite for completed family homes and larger living spaces. The ready market remains an important indicator of immediate end-user demand, particularly among buyers looking for established communities, rental income, or occupancy-ready assets.
On the Micro Level
A standout transaction was recorded in City of Arabia, where a land plot measuring 144,115.87 sqm was sold for AED571.7 million.
Market Insights & Outlook
The day’s transactions point to a market that remains well-balanced between future supply and completed inventory. Off-plan properties slightly outpaced ready assets, but the gap was narrow, indicating that both investors and end-users remain active.
Flats continued to dominate across both categories, reinforcing their position as Dubai’s most liquid property segment. At the same time, the strong contribution of ready villas and the major City of Arabia land deal show that larger-ticket assets remain an important part of market activity. Overall, 02 July 2026 reflected a healthy trading day, supported by broad demand across apartments, villas, commercial assets and strategic land.
