Dubai Real Estate Transactions as Reported on the 27th of November 2025
On 27 November 2025, the total transacted value reached AED 2,517,883,077. Off-plan dominated with AED 1,380,722,987 (54.8%), while Ready accounted for AED 1,137,160,090 (45.2%).
Category | Off-Plan (AED millions) | Ready (AED millions) |
|---|---|---|
Flats | 1,289.7 | 744.0 |
Villas | 66.6 | 214.6 |
Hotel Apts & Rooms | 0.0 | 31.6 |
Commercial | 24.4 | 147.0 |
Total | 1,380.7 | 1,137.2 |
Off-Plan Market Performance
Total Value: AED 1,380,722,987 (54.8% of daily volume)
Flats: AED 1,289,740,010 (93.4% of off-plan)
Villas: AED 66,620,136 (4.8% of off-plan)
Hotel Apts & Rooms: AED 0 (0.0% of off-plan)
Commercial: AED 24,362,841 (1.8% of off-plan)
Off-plan activity was overwhelmingly concentrated in flats, with villas and commercial assets contributing only marginally and no hotel apartment deals recorded. This points to a day dominated by apartment launches and ongoing payment-plan driven demand in the primary market.
Ready Market Performance
Total Value: AED 1,137,160,090 (45.2% of daily volume)
Flats: AED 744,000,929 (65.4% of ready)
Villas: AED 214,576,087 (18.9% of ready)
Hotel Apts & Rooms: AED 31,629,563 (2.8% of ready)
Commercial: AED 146,953,511 (12.9% of ready)
In the ready segment, apartments remained the core of trading, but villas and commercial assets together accounted for nearly one-third of value, signalling healthy interest in established communities and income-generating stock alongside end-user apartment demand.
On The Micro Level
Market Insights & Outlook
The 27 November session reinforces a balanced but growth-oriented market structure: off-plan retains a slight edge in value, reflecting appetite for new product and flexible developer-led payment plans, while the ready market continues to show solid depth in lived-in apartments and villas.
The dominance of flats across both segments highlights Dubai’s ongoing appeal to end-users and investors seeking liquidity, rental yield, and smaller ticket sizes, with villas and commercial assets providing diversification rather than direction. Barring any external shocks, this mix points to continued resilience in daily turnover, with primary and secondary markets moving in tandem rather than competing for capital.
