Dubai property market: 2025 in review
What the annual transaction figures tell buyers.
AED 917bn Total real estate transaction value · 2025
The reported figures
Dubai’s official year-end announcement recorded more than 270,000 real estate transactions worth AED 917 billion in 2025. It reported a 20% year-on-year increase.
What this means
This is a measure of activity across the market during 2025. It provides context for the scale of transactions, rather than a current price for an individual property.
What it does not tell you
The total is not a rental yield, a forecast or a statement that every neighbourhood rose equally. A higher transaction value can reflect changes in the number and mix of properties traded.
Use the report alongside a property comparison
For a buying decision, compare recent transactions for similar units in the same building or community. Check their dates, size, condition and completion status. Then review the asking price and costs of the property you are considering.
Our reading
The practical next step is to move from the city-wide headline to evidence for your specific shortlist. Treat this annual review as historical context, not a live valuation.
