Women continued to expand their footprint in the sector, with 30,487 female investors completing around 35,000 property deals worth Dh73.2 billion, underscoring their growing influence in shaping Dubai’s real estate dynamics.

By transaction volume, Al Barsha South Fourth led with 10,469 deals, followed by Al Yalayis 1 (7,595) and Wadi Al Safa 5 (7,178). Other high-activity zones included Business Bay, Dubai Marina, and Airport City.

 

Premium Market Leaders

Dubai Marina ranked first in transaction value with Dh25.1 billion, followed by Business Bay (Dh22.5 billion), the Burj Khalifa area (Dh17.1 billion), and Palm Jumeirah (Dh16.96 billion). Al Yalayis 1, Meaisem Second, and Wadi Al Safa 5 also crossed the Dh15 billion mark, highlighting the widespread demand across the city.

The strong first-half performance solidifies Dubai’s position as a leading global property investment hub, with continued growth driven by both local and international demand. Analysts expect this upward trajectory to persist, supported by the emirate’s robust market fundamentals and investor-friendly environment.
