Dubai Real Estate Transactions as Reported on the 26th of June 2025

On 26 June 2025, Dubai’s total real estate transaction value reached AED 2.175 billion. Off-plan properties accounted for 51.3 % (AED 1.116 billion), while ready assets contributed 48.7 % (AED 1.059 billion) of the total volume.

Off-Plan Market Performance

Off-plan sales totaled AED 1.116 billion, led overwhelmingly by flats:

• Flats: AED 1.004 billion (89.9 % of off-plan)

• Villas: AED 92.7 million (8.3 %)

• Hotel Apartments & Rooms: AED 11.3 million (1.0 %)

• Commercial: AED 8.6 million (0.8 %)

The dominance of flats underscores sustained investor appetite for smaller, early-stage units, while villas and commercial segments remain niche.

Ready Market Performance

Ready transactions reached AED 1.059 billion, with a more balanced mix:

• Flats: AED 728.8 million (68.8 % of ready)

• Villas: AED 203.6 million (19.2 %)

• Hotel Apartments & Rooms: AED 34.1 million (3.2 %)

• Commercial: AED 92.3 million (8.7 %)

Although flats lead, the ready market shows notable diversification, particularly in the villa sector.

On The Micro Level

Market Insights

The near-equal split between off-plan and ready volumes signals a maturing market where both speculative and immediate-use buyers coexist. Off-plan flats continue to attract investors seeking flexible payment plans and capital appreciation, while the ready segment’s villa growth points to growing end-user demand.
