Dubai Real Estate Hits $31 Billion in Q1 2025: Rents Soar in Key Districts
Dubai’s real estate market continues its record-breaking trajectory. In Q1 2025, the total transaction volume reached AED114.08 billion ($31.1 billion) — a 29% increase compared to the same period last year. A total of 42,269 transactions were recorded, with off-plan sales leading the surge.
Off-Plan Properties Fueling Market Momentum
Off-plan transactions climbed to 24,920, up from 20,006 a year earlier. The secondary market also showed strong performance, with the value of ready property transactions increasing from AED43.9 billion to AED60.2 billion — a clear sign of growing confidence among end-users and investors alike.
Rental Prices on the Rise — Up to 26% in Hotspots
Rental rates are following suit. The average rent per square foot rose from AED71 ($19) to AED81 ($22) — a 14% increase. Notably, Dubai South and Al Furjan saw the sharpest spikes, with rental growth of 26.37% and 21.56% respectively — positioning these areas as top picks for yield-focused investors.
Prices Expected to Rise 5–10% in 2025
Market analysts forecast a 5–10% increase in property prices throughout 2025, supported by the launch of approximately 72,365 new residential units. This growth is underpinned by Dubai’s strong fundamentals, investor confidence, and future-focused urban development strategies.
Why Investors Are Doubling Down on Dubai
Farooq Syed, CEO of Springfield Properties, attributes this momentum to Dubai’s clear long-term vision, world-class infrastructure, and robust regulations — all of which continue to attract local and international capital seeking safe, profitable, and high-growth real estate opportunities.
