Dubai’s property market has once again proven its strength, posting record-breaking results in the third quarter of 2025. According to the latest figures from the Dubai Land Department (DLD) and DXBinteract, total real estate sales for Q3 reached AED 170.7 billion ($46.5 billion) — the highest quarterly value ever recorded in the city’s history.
This milestone came from 59,228 property transactions, reflecting an impressive year-on-year increase of 17.2% in sales volume and 19.9% in total value. The surge highlights Dubai’s continued global appeal and the growing confidence of both local and international investors in the emirate’s property sector.
Strong Momentum Through 2025
From January to September 2025, Dubai recorded 158,200 transactions worth AED 498.8 billion ($136 billion) — marking a 20.5% rise in volume and a 32.3% jump in value compared to the same period last year. This consistent growth shows that Dubai’s market isn’t just stable — it’s expanding across multiple property segments with sustained investor demand.
Apartment Sales Lead the Market
Apartments remained the most sought-after property type, with over 49,000 units sold worth AED 94.3 billion ($25.7 billion), a 25.9% increase compared to Q3 2024. Plot sales also saw remarkable growth, recording 1,214 deals valued at AED 36.1 billion ($9.8 billion) — showing that investors are not only buying existing properties but also banking on future developments.
Commercial real estate, too, witnessed an upswing, with 1,565 transactions totaling AED 4.2 billion ($1.1 billion), marking a 41.9% jump in volume year-over-year.
Off-Plan Properties Dominate
Off-plan developments continued to dominate the market, accounting for 73% of total transactions and 66% of total market value in Q3. This strong demand for under-construction projects shows investors’ long-term confidence in Dubai’s real estate pipeline and developer reliability.
Steady September Closes the Quarter
The month of September alone contributed 20,127 sales transactions valued at AED 54.3 billion ($14.8 billion) — up 21.2% in value compared to last year. This indicates steady performance heading into Q4, with no sign of a seasonal slowdown.
Why Dubai Remains a Global Investment Hotspot
Several factors continue to support Dubai’s real estate boom:
- Long-term visa programs such as the Golden Visa
- Expanded foreign ownership rights in prime zones
- Simplified digital property registration through the DLD
- Major infrastructure projects, including new metro lines and the ongoing Expo 2020 legacy development
Industry experts note that Dubai’s growth remains healthy and sustainable, driven by genuine demand rather than speculation. Investors are taking a data-driven, long-term approach, focusing on trusted developers and high-performing communities.
