Dubai’s real estate market achieved record-breaking performance in the first half of 2025, with total property transactions reaching Dh431 billion — a 25% surge compared to the same period in 2024, according to data from the Dubai Land Department (DLD).
From January to June 2025, the emirate recorded 125,538 property transactions, marking a 26% rise from 99,947 in H1 2024. Overall real estate activity — including sales, rental agreements, and administrative processes — surpassed 1.3 million transactions, reflecting strong market momentum and rising investor confidence.
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.
International investors remained the dominant force, contributing Dh228.35 billion in transactions. Arab nationals invested Dh28.4 billion, while GCC citizens accounted for Dh22.56 billion, reaffirming Dubai’s status as a top destination for cross-border real estate investment.
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.
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.
