The Dubai real estate market continues to demonstrate unparalleled resilience and growth, with a staggering AED 15.57 billion in transactions recorded last week (June 9-13, 2025). This remarkable figure, reported by the Dubai Land Department (DLD), highlights the emirate’s appeal as a global investment hotspot, attracting both local and international buyers.

While the overall transaction volume is staggering, it’s the calibre of individual deals reported by the Dubai Land Department (DLD) that truly reveals the market’s strength. A prestigious apartment in Aman Residences – Tower 1, Jumeirah, recently sold for an incredible AED 126 million. This landmark transaction signals the robust confidence in Dubai’s most coveted properties and locations.

What’s Driving This Monumental Activity?

With 3,521 sales transactions totalling AED 11.24 billion dominating the week’s activity. This impressive volume is fuelled by several key factors:

• Investor confidence: Dubai’s pro-investor policies, including a tax-free environment for property ownership and the attractive Golden Visa programme for qualifying investments, continue to pull high-net-worth individuals and investors worldwide.
• Luxury market boom: The demand for ultra-luxury properties, particularly in prime beachfront locations like Jumeirah, remains exceptionally strong. Investors are seeking established developments with proven track records and the potential for long-term capital appreciation.
• Balanced market: The nearly even split between off-plan and ready property transactions (sales accounted for 72% of total transaction value) signifies a healthy market balance. Developers are keeping pace with end-user demand for completed units, while investors show continued confidence in under-construction projects.
• Strong lending appetite: Substantial mortgage activity indicates a healthy financing environment, with strong lending appetite from UAE banks and continued accessibility to property financing for qualified buyers, both local and international.
• Population growth and demand: Dubai’s rapidly growing population, projected to hit 4 million by the end 2025, consistently drives demand for residential properties. This influx of new residents, coupled with sustained interest from international buyers, ensures that demand continues to outweigh supply in many key areas.
• Strategic Location: Dubai’s strategic position connecting Eastern and Western markets, coupled with its world-class infrastructure and attractive lifestyle offerings, cements its status as a premier global real estate destination.

Looking Ahead: A Promising Outlook for Dubai Real Estate

While the market has seen rapid price increases in recent years, experts suggest a healthy moderation in the pace of growth is expected as new supply enters the market. However, the fundamental drivers of demand remain strong. With continued government initiatives, a focus on sustainable and smart developments, and a strong economic outlook, Dubai’s real estate sector is set for sustained growth and continues to offer exceptional opportunities for investors seeking high returns and long-term security.
