Dubai Real Estate Transactions as Reported on the 12th of June 2025
On 12 June 2025, Dubai’s total real estate transactions hit AED 1.96 billion, split between off-plan at 48.7% (AED 957.1 million) and ready properties at 51.3% (AED 1.01 billion).
Category | Off-Plan (AED millions) | Ready (AED millions) |
|---|---|---|
Flats | 836.6 | 590.7 |
Villas | 106.8 | 99.4 |
Hotel Apt. & Rooms | 13.7 | 110.6 |

Villas: AED 106.8 m (11.2%)
Hotel Apartments & Rooms: AED 13.7 m (1.4%)
Commercial: AED 0 (0.0%)
Off-plan flats overwhelmingly led activity, reflecting sustained demand for new apartment launches. Villas accounted for a decent double-digit share.

Flats: AED 590.7 m (58.6% of ready)
Commercial: AED 207.1 m (20.6%)
Hotel Apartments & Rooms: AED 110.6 m (11.0%)

Ready-market commercials came second in transaction value after the most popular property type, flats. Villas suffered a significant decline to last place with only 10% of the daily transactions.
On The Micro Level
Market Insights
The slight lead of ready transactions reflects robust secondary-market demand, especially for flats and commercial units. Off-plan remains overwhelmingly residential, with no commercial transactions this session. Developers may be pacing commercial offerings amid strong yields in the ready segment. Going forward, watch for new off-plan residential launches to rebalance the market and for continued strength in ready commercial sales.
