Dubai’s property market has achieved its strongest quarterly performance ever, reaching AED 184.3 billion ($50.2 billion) in total sales in Q2 2025, according to new data from Property Finder. This marks a 49% increase in value and a 22% rise in transaction volume compared to the same period in 2024 — establishing Q2 2025 as the highest-performing quarter in Dubai’s real estate history.

Surge Driven by Both Ready and Off-Plan Markets

Ready property sales posted record-breaking figures:

  1. 22,975 transactions, up 33% year-on-year

  2. AED 115.5 billion ($31.5 billion) in value, up 62%

  3. 43% share of total market activity

  4. Volume up 15% and value up 32% compared to the previous all-time high

This trend reflects a notable shift from renting to ownership, driven by rising rental prices and increasing demand for long-term capital preservation.

Off-plan sales were also exceptionally strong:

  1. AED 68.8 billion ($18.8 billion) in value, up 31% year-on-year

  2. 30,277 transactions, marking 16% growth

  3. Represented 57% of total market activity in Q2

The consistent performance of the off-plan segment underscores investor confidence in Dubai’s development pipeline, urban expansion strategy, and transparent regulatory environment.

A Resilient, Investor-Friendly Market

According to Cherif Sleiman, CRO of Property Finder, Dubai’s success can be attributed to a combination of factors:

  1. Proactive government policy and adaptive regulation

  2. Transparent agent licensing and property marketing standards

  3. Strong governance and regulatory enforcement

  4. Diverse property offerings across villas, townhouses, and apartments

Sleiman added that the balance between growing demand and controlled inventory levels points not to overheating, but to market maturity.

Government Initiatives Reinforce Buyer Confidence

One of the most notable recent developments is the launch of Dubai’s First-Time Home Buyer Program, aimed at encouraging residents to transition from renting to owning. This program adds a new layer of accessibility for end-users, supporting further domestic market growth.

What This Means for Investors

  1. Strong capital growth potential in both primary and secondary markets

  2. Increased liquidity and investor activity across all asset classes

  3. Improved exit opportunities for current property owners

  4. Demand being driven by both resident buyers and international investors

Dubai’s real estate market continues to outperform global benchmarks, offering resilience, transparency, and long-term opportunity — particularly for those entering during growth cycles.
