Dubai Real Estate Transactions as Reported on the 3rd of June 2025
On June 3, 2025, Dubai’s total property transaction value reached AED 1.889 billion. Off-plan deals accounted for AED 994.6 million (52.7% of the day’s volume), while ready properties contributed AED 894.8 million (47.3%). This near-balanced split underscores robust activity in both segments.
Property Type | Off-Plan (AED millions) | Ready (AED millions) |
|---|---|---|
Flats | 913.0 | 671.9 |
Villas | 79.5 | 117.6 |
Hotel Apartments & Rooms | 2.1 | 31.4 |
Commercial | 0.0 | 73.9 |
Total | 994.6 | 894.8 |
Off-Plan Market Performance
Flats: AED 913.0 million (91.8% of off-plan)
Villas: AED 79.5 million (8.0% of off-plan)
Hotel Apartments & Rooms: AED 2.1 million (0.2% of off-plan)
Commercial: AED 0.0 million (0.0% of off-plan)
Flats overwhelmingly dominate the off-plan segment, accounting for nearly 92% of off-plan sales, reflecting continued investor confidence in apartment projects. Villas make up only 8%, signaling modest uptake for under-construction standalone homes. There was virtually no off-plan commercial activity on this date, and hotel apartments recorded minimal transactions.
Ready Market Performance
Flats: AED 671.9 million (75.1% of ready)
Villas: AED 117.6 million (13.1% of ready)
Hotel Apartments & Rooms: AED 31.4 million (3.5% of ready)
Commercial: AED 73.9 million (8.3% of ready)
Within the ready segment, flats again lead, comprising three-quarters of ready sales, driven by strong end-user demand in established communities. Villas capture 13.1%, indicating sustained interest in move-in-ready homes. Ready commercial properties account for 8.3%, showing steady investor appetite for completed retail and office space. Hotel apartments and rooms represent a smaller 3.5%, reflecting limited but present interest in hospitality-linked assets.
On The Micro Level
Market Insights & Outlook
Apartment-Centric Activity: Both off-plan and ready markets are heavily skewed toward flats (91.8% and 75.1%, respectively). This suggests that mid- to high-rise residential projects remain the primary driver of daily volumes.
Villa Market Niche: Villas amount to just 8.0% off-plan and 13.1% ready, indicating that larger, standalone homes continue to attract a smaller, but stable, buyer base.
Commercial and Hospitality Trends: The absence of off-plan commercial deals on June 3, coupled with an 8.3% share for ready commercial, points to a cooling of new commercial launches. Meanwhile, the 3.5% hotel apartment share in ready stock suggests select investor interest in short-stay assets.
Balanced Supply and Demand: The nearly even split between off-plan (52.7%) and ready (47.3%) activity highlights a healthy market balance. Developers are keeping pace with end-user demand for completed units, while investors remain confident in buying under construction.
Overall, June 3’s data reflects a market where apartments continue to rule in both under-construction and turnkey segments. As Dubai’s real estate cycle matures, homebuyers and investors can expect sustained depth across flats, with villas and commercial assets playing smaller, complementary roles.
