Dubai Highlights
The ready transactions witnessed a record-breaking performance in Q2 2025, posting its highest-ever quarterly figures in both volume and value. A total of 22,975 transactions were recorded, amounting to AED 115.5 billion — reflecting a 62% year-on-year increase in value and a 33% rise in volume compared to Q2 2024. This surge was likely fueled by a growing shift from renting to owning, as escalating rental prices continue to drive residents toward homeownership, further supported by the Golden Visa initiative and current instability in the region.
Off-plan transactions continued their strong momentum in Q2 2025, with transaction value rising by 31% year-on-year to reach approximately AED 68.8 billion — the highest quarterly value ever recorded for the segment. This performance underscores sustained confidence in Dubai’s real estate market, supported by both home seekers and investors optimistic about long-term capital appreciation and future growth potential.
