An exceptional July for the real estate market
July 2025 marked a new all-time record for Dubai's real estate market, with a total of 20,304 transactions recorded for an overall value of AED 65 billion. This represents an increase of +29.5% in value and +24.9% in volume compared to July 2024, confirming the sector's upward momentum despite the usually quieter summer period.
Apartments top the sales charts
Among the most dynamic segments, apartments recorded an impressive +28.1% increase, illustrating strong investor demand for well-located urban properties, often purchased off-plan or for resale in the most sought-after districts. The villa market also grew by +6.4%, proving that the appeal of premium residential space remains strong, particularly among expatriate families and buyers looking for an exclusive lifestyle.
Strong recovery in the field and acceleration in the luxury sector
The land segment posted an increase of +22.3%, reflecting renewed interest in development projects, particularly in booming suburban areas. The high-end residential market continues to drive up overall sales values. Districts such as Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai and Jumeirah Bay Island are concentrating a growing volume of high-value transactions, underpinned by continuing strong international demand.
Increased confidence in the market
This performance reflects investors' enduring confidence in the strength of Dubai's real estate market, underpinned by stable fundamentals: quality infrastructure, attractive taxation, security, high rental yields and ease of purchase for non-residents. Government initiatives, such as visa facilitation for investors and tax exemptions, are also contributing to this positive momentum.
Conclusion: a summer of growth
July 2025 confirms that Dubai real estate remains one of the pillars of the emirate's economic growth. With AED 65 billion in sales and over 20,000 transactions in a single month, the market is demonstrating its resilience, international appeal and ability to generate value, even in the height of summer. This trend is set to continue in the months ahead, driven by high-end projects, the influx of foreign investors and the Emirates' macroeconomic stability.
