Read the scope of the number
This figure describes total transaction activity across the emirate for a full year. It should not be presented as the average value or return of a residential investment.
Compare locations separately
A city-wide total cannot explain how two different neighbourhoods fit your needs. Compare the type of home, local amenities, recurring costs and actual properties available in each location.
Ask for property-level evidence
When you receive a shortlist, ask what supports the price of each unit. If rental income is part of your plan, request comparable achieved rents and an expense estimate. Keep projected income separate from verified transactions.
Our reading
Annual activity is useful background, but the purchase decision needs a closer view. Start with your preferred location and budget, then compare specific homes against recent evidence. These 2025 figures are historical, not a live market feed.
