Dubai Real Estate Transactions as Reported on the 24th of June 2025
On 24 June 2025, Dubai’s total real estate transaction value reached AED 1.903 billion. Off-plan properties accounted for 57.2 % (AED 1.089 billion), while ready assets made up 42.8 % (AED 814 million) of the total volume.
Category | Off-Plan (AED millions) | Ready (AED millions) |
---|---|---|
Flats | 965.5 | 558.3 |
Villas | 116.6 | 149.9 |
Hotel Apt. & Rooms | 3.7 | 18.3 |
Commercial | 3.6 | 87.6 |
Total | 1089.4 | 814.0 |

Off-Plan Market Performance
Off-plan sales dominated with AED 1.089 billion in value, driven overwhelmingly by flats:
Flats: AED 965.5 million (88.6 % of off-plan)
Villas: AED 116.6 million (10.7 %)
Hotel Apartments & Rooms: AED 3.7 million (0.3 %)
Commercial: AED 3.6 million (0.3 %)
The concentration in flats highlights strong investor confidence in early-stage, smaller unit offerings. This could also be the result of higher speculation activity.
Ready Market Performance
Ready transactions totaled AED 814 million, with a more diversified mix:
Flats: AED 558.3 million (68.6 % of ready)
Villas: AED 149.9 million (18.4 %)
Hotel Apartments & Rooms: AED 18.3 million (2.2 %)
Commercial: AED 87.6 million (10.8 %)
While flats lead, the notable share for villas and commercial units points to healthy end-user and rental demand.
On The Micro Level


Market Insights
Off-plan’s majority share, centred on flats, reflects robust pre-completion appetite and flexible payment plans. The ready market’s higher villa and commercial contributions suggest strong immediate possession demand, both for owner-occupiers and landlords.
