Robust activity across land, ready homes, and off-plan launches signals sustained investor appetite.
Dubai’s property market recorded AED 17.3 billion in total real estate transactions across 4,849 deals during the past week, according to data from the Dubai Land Department (DLD). The performance underscores the continued depth and liquidity of the market across product types—land, residential units, buildings, and large-ticket luxury assets.
- Total weekly transactions: 4,849
- Aggregate value: AED 17.3B
- Sales: 3,903 deals | AED 12.6B
- Mortgages: 820 deals | AED 3.4B
- Gifts: 134 transactions | AED 1.4M
While sales volumes dominated activity, mortgage financing remained healthy, representing roughly 19.7% of total transacted value for the week—an indicator of ongoing leverage use and institutional participation.
Sales Composition
Sales transactions (3,903 total) broke down as follows:
- 539 land sales
- 3,216 unit (apartment) sales
- 148 building sales
Ready vs. Off-Plan Split
- Ready property sales: AED 7.1B across 1,439 transactions.
- Off-plan sales: AED 5.4B across 2,456 transactions.
The higher deal count in off-plan reflects developer pipeline strength and investor willingness to secure positions ahead of handover, while the larger value per transaction in the ready segment helped lift its overall value lead.
Mortgage Activity
A total of 820 mortgage deals worth AED 3.4B were registered:
- 167 land mortgages
- 785 unit mortgages
- 115 building mortgages
Mortgage activity continues to play a meaningful role in liquidity, particularly in the mid- to upper‑mid residential brackets where financing support can accelerate decision-making.
Top 5 Areas by Sales Value
- Wadi Al Safa 3 – AED 1.6B
- Al Wasl – AED 1.1B
- Business Bay – AED 939M
- Jumeirah 2 – AED 528M
- Bu Kadra – AED 491M
The dominance of Wadi Al Safa 3 and Al Wasl highlights continued land and development interest on one side of the market and strong central/prime positioning on the other. Business Bay’s sustained showing reaffirms its status as one of Dubai’s most actively traded mixed‑use corridors.
Notable High-Value Transactions
- AED 1B industrial land plot sold in Al Wasl—a substantial logistics/industrial capital deployment that signals confidence in non-residential asset classes.
- Two ultra‑luxury villas (off-plan) in Jumeirah 2 within Rosewood Residences Dubai:
- Villa 1: AED 250M
- Villa 2: AED 180M
- AED 65M off‑plan office property in Business Bay, underscoring sustained demand for Grade‑A commercial space.
What the Numbers Suggest
Liquidity remains broad‑based. Strong showings across ready, off‑plan, and land categories indicate that investors are not confined to a single asset class.
Luxury demand stays elevated. Nine‑figure villa deals—and a billion‑dirham industrial land acquisition—signal that capital at the top end of the market remains active and willing to commit to branded residential and specialized commercial product.
Geographic diversity supports resilience. From emerging master‑planned zones (Wadi Al Safa 3) to established prime enclaves (Al Wasl, Jumeirah 2) and high‑density mixed‑use hubs (Business Bay), activity is spread across Dubai’s development spectrum.
