Dubai Real Estate Market Nears $136.15 Billion in Sales in First Nine Months of 2025
October 1, 2025
Dubai’s real estate market continued its remarkable momentum in 2025, recording nearly $136.15 billion (AED 500 billion) in sales within the first nine months, according to new industry data. This growth highlights the city’s position as one of the world’s most dynamic property markets, attracting global investors, high-net-worth families, and long-term residents alike.
Strong Market Momentum in 2025
The January to September period saw over 155,000 real estate transactions, marking an 18.5% year-on-year increase compared to 2024. Overall market activity reached AED 670 billion from more than 200,000 deals, reflecting 23.4% growth.
This robust performance underscores Dubai’s appeal as a stable, investor-friendly hub with strong returns across both residential and commercial sectors.
Residential Prices and Returns
Residential property prices saw a healthy 8–10% rise in 2025, driven by strong demand and limited prime supply. Returns remain among the most competitive globally:
- 6% yield for villas
- 10% yield for apartments
With yields surpassing global benchmarks in cities like London and New York, Dubai continues to offer exceptional opportunities for income-focused investors.
Key Drivers Behind Growth
Several factors are fueling the city’s record-breaking performance:
- Population growth: Over 4 million residents today, projected to reach 5.8 million by 2040.
- Supportive government policies: Golden Visa, full foreign ownership, and long-term residency programs.
- Innovation: Blockchain-based real estate tokenization projects selling out within minutes.
- Infrastructure expansion: Metro extensions, mega-developments, and lifestyle-driven communities.
- Global wealth magnet: Dubai ranks among the top 10 cities for ultra-wealthy second-home owners, with 1,288 individuals holding assets above $30 million.
