Dubai Real Estate Transactions as Reported on the 8th of December 2025
On the 08-Dec-2025, the total transacted value reached AED 1,734,064,726. Off-plan dominated with AED 992,993,024 (57.3%), while Ready accounted for AED 741,071,701 (42.7%).
Category | Off-Plan (AED millions) | Ready (AED millions) |
|---|---|---|
Flats | 687.6 | 482.6 |
Villas | 284.9 | 157.5 |
Hotel Apts & Rooms | 1.6 | 26.7 |
Commercial | 18.9 | 74.3 |
Total | 993.0 | 741.1 |
Off-Plan Market Performance
Total Value: AED 993 million (57.3% of daily total)
Flats: AED 687,561,900 (69.2% of Off-Plan)
Villas: AED 284,914,153 (28.7% of Off-Plan)
Hotel Apts & Rooms: AED 1,611,650 (0.2% of Off-Plan)
Commercial: AED 18,905,321 (1.9% of Off-Plan)
Off-plan activity was clearly apartment-led, with nearly seven out of every ten dirhams flowing into flats, while villas captured a strong secondary share. Commercial and hospitality assets remained a very small, more specialised slice of the off-plan market for the day.
Ready Market Performance
Total Value: AED 741 million (42.7% of daily total)
Flats: AED 482,600,872 (65.1% of Ready)
Villas: AED 157,523,697 (21.3% of Ready)
Hotel Apts & Rooms: AED 26,665,000 (3.6% of Ready)
Commercial: AED 74,282,132 (10.0% of Ready)
In the ready segment, end-user and investor demand continued to concentrate on completed flats, with more than two-thirds of ready value split between apartments and villas. Ready commercial and hospitality assets together contributed just over 13% of the day’s ready transactions, reflecting selective but healthy demand for income-generating stock.
On The Micro Level
Market Insights & Outlook
The 08-Dec-2025 figures show a balanced but off-plan–tilted market, with strong appetite for future-ready apartments and villas complemented by solid trading in completed homes. The relatively modest role of commercial and hospitality deals suggests investors remain focused on core residential exposure, while the near 60/40 split between off-plan and ready points to a market that is still in an expansionary yet broadly orderly phase.
