Dubai’s real estate market continues to experience unprecedented growth in 2025, building on a record-setting year in 2024. According to the Dubai Land Department (DLD), 2024 saw 226,000 sales transactions valued at AED 761 billion—marking a 36% increase in volume and 20% in value compared to 2023. The upward trajectory has not slowed in 2025, with new monthly transaction records being set consistently.
April and May 2025 witnessed extraordinary figures, with sales reaching AED 62.1 billion and AED 66.8 billion respectively. These milestones represent a 44% year-on-year increase in value for May alone. June 2025 also demonstrated strength, with 16,303 transactions valued at AED 54.2 billion—16% higher than the same month in 2024.
Both the off-plan and secondary (ready) markets are contributing to this boom. While off-plan properties remain a dominant force—particularly in new developments like Dubai South and MBR City—the secondary market has also gained traction. The resale of completed units has grown in both volume and value, with buyers favoring immediate handover, established communities, and reduced risks.
This dual-market surge reflects not just investor appetite but also end-user confidence. The influx of residents, long-term visa holders, and foreign professionals seeking stability continues to boost both segments. In 2025, Dubai is not just outperforming its past—it is redefining its real estate future.
