Dubai Real Estate Transactions as Reported on the 19th of November 2025
On 19-Nov-2025, the total transacted value reached AED 2,181,823,971. Off-plan dominated with AED 1,503,117,100 (68.9%), while Ready accounted for AED 678,706,872 (31.1%).
Category | Off-Plan (AED millions) | Ready (AED millions) |
|---|---|---|
Flats | 1,250.3 | 432.3 |
Villas | 202.2 | 175.0 |
Hotel Apt. & Rooms | 7.4 | 30.9 |
Commercial | 43.2 | 40.5 |
Total | 1,503.1 | 678.7 |
Off-Plan Market Performance
Total Value: AED 1,503,117,100
Flats: AED 1,250,313,789 (83.2%)
Villas: AED 202,184,380 (13.5%)
Hotel Apts & Rooms: AED 7,369,650 (0.5%)
Commercial: AED 43,249,280 (2.9%)
Off-plan activity was heavily concentrated in flats, which accounted for more than four-fifths of all off-plan value, with villas adding a meaningful but secondary layer of demand and commercial/ hospitality remaining niche.
Ready Market Performance
Total Value: AED 678,706,872
Flats: AED 432,287,983 (63.7%)
Villas: AED 174,992,313 (25.8%)
Hotel Apts & Rooms: AED 30,916,325 (4.6%)
Commercial: AED 40,510,250 (6.0%)
In the ready segment, flats also led but with a more balanced mix, as villas contributed over a quarter of value, indicating healthy end-user and upgrader activity alongside investor-driven apartment trades.
On The Micro Level
Market Insights & Outlook
The day’s transactions reaffirm Dubai’s off-plan-led cycle, with nearly 70% of value coming from projects under development, yet the sizeable ready share shows that immediate-occupancy and income-generating assets remain in strong demand. Flats dominate both segments, reflecting investor preference for liquid, easily rentable stock, while the solid villa contribution underscores ongoing appetite for larger family homes and lifestyle-led communities. If this balance holds, the market is likely to see continued depth across both off-plan launches and established neighbourhoods, rather than a one-dimensional rally.
