16 February 2026
Dubai's residential real estate market concluded 2025 on a record-breaking note, with transaction volumes surpassing 200,000 and total values reaching AED 541.5 billion. Both off-plan and ready property segments outperformed 2024 levels, supported by robust investor appetite, strong end-user demand, and a steady stream of new project launches. Off-plan transactions accounted for 72.9% of total market activity, up from 69.3% in 2024, reflecting the market's increasing focus toward future developments. While this trend has driven growth, it has also created concentration risks, as the market has become heavily reliant on continued launch momentum and sustained buyer sentiment.
