Dubai’s property market recorded robust activity on March 16, 2026, with data from the Dubai Land Department confirming strong transactional momentum across both sales and mortgage segments.
Sales Activity
The market logged 1,036 sales transactions valued at a combined AED 3.26 billion in a single trading day. This level of activity reflects continued investor confidence in Dubai’s real estate sector, driven by sustained demand from both resident buyers and international investors seeking stable, high-yield assets in the emirate.
Mortgage Activity
Financing activity remained active alongside cash transactions, with 227 mortgage transactions recorded totalling AED 773.42 million. This points to a significant portion of buyers leveraging bank financing, indicating accessible credit conditions and lender appetite for real estate-backed lending in the current market environment.

A single day generating over AED 4 billion in combined real estate and mortgage activity underscores Dubai’s position as one of the most liquid and active property markets globally. The ratio of mortgage to sales transactions (roughly 1 in 5 deals financed) suggests a predominantly cash-driven market, a hallmark of Dubai’s investor profile.
