Dubai’s real estate sector ended 2025 on an unprecedented high, recording its strongest ever quarterly sales performance with transactions worth AED 187.47 billion in the fourth quarter. This milestone capped a year of remarkable growth, driven by sustained demand from both domestic and international buyers.
According to Property Finder data, each month in Q4 made a significant contribution — with October at AED 59 billion, and both November and December posting AED 64 billion in transactions — making it the most successful quarter in the emirate’s history.
Prime residential corridors such as Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina and Downtown Dubai led sales activity, supported by premium pricing, limited supply and strong international interest. Established investment hubs like Business Bay and well-planned communities like Dubai Hills Estate continued to attract buyers seeking long-term value. More affordable mid-market neighbourhoods, including Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC), also posted notable sales, particularly in the off-plan segment.
Data shows a clear preference among buyers and renters for apartments, particularly studio- to two-bedroom units, reflecting shifting lifestyle choices and market dynamics.
Market analysts say the robust end to 2025 underscores Dubai’s structural demand fundamentals, broad-based participation across segments, and the emirate’s ongoing appeal as a global real estate hub — positioning the market strongly for continued growth in 2026.
