Dubai’s real estate sector continued its upward trajectory in the first half of 2025, with 24 property projects completed, totaling AED 4.5 billion in value. The wave of completions comes as demand for both off-plan and ready-to-move-in properties remains strong across the emirate.

The period also saw a surge in property transactions, with over 75,000 units sold, generating more than AED 151 billion in sales value. Villas were particularly in demand, reflecting a growing buyer preference for larger, private homes in master-planned communities.

Meanwhile, the rental market remained steady, registering over 465,000 lease contracts, with new leases increasing 7% compared to the same period last year. Rental values also saw moderate growth, reflecting healthy occupancy and ongoing demand for both residential and commercial spaces

With over 700 projects currently under development, Dubai’s property landscape continues to expand in response to evolving lifestyle needs and investor confidence. The momentum in deliveries and transactions highlights the city’s ongoing transformation into a dynamic and resilient global real estate hub.
