Property Finder revealed in its latest data that Dubai continues to cement its position as one of the world’s leading real estate destinations. The emirate recorded property transactions worth AED 63.6 billion in July, an increase of 27% in value and 24% in volume year-on-year. These figures reflect Dubai’s enduring appeal and reaffirm the confidence of both investors and individual buyers.
Strong Growth in Ready Properties and Off-Plan Projects
The data showed that ready primary properties registered 1,961 transactions with a total value of AED 12.2 billion, marking a 66% increase in volume and 56% in value compared to last year. This highlights the strong demand for ready projects, while off-plan properties continue to attract rising interest, reflecting growing confidence in new developments and the market’s ability to absorb further investments.
Buyer interest in new projects recorded a growth rate of 32% between Q3 2024 and Q2 2025. While Dubai accounted for the majority of this demand, Abu Dhabi and Ras Al Khaimah also emerged as key players, each capturing a 5% share—enhancing the diversity of the UAE’s real estate landscape.
