Dubai’s property market continues its record-breaking run, with real estate sales reaching AED499.1 billion in the first nine months of 2025, a 379.9 percent increase in value compared to the same period in 2021, according to recent data.
A new market report by fäm Properties shows total transactions rising from 43,200 in 2021 to 158,400 this year, reflecting a 266.7 percent surge in volume. Compared with 2024, the first nine months of 2025 recorded a 32.4 percent jump in total sales value and a 20.6 percent rise in deals, underlining continued investor demand across all asset classes.
Average monthly real estate transactions climbed to 17,600 deals worth AED55.46 billion, up from 14,600 transactions and AED41.89 billion a year earlier. Data from DXBinteract shows consistent year-on-year growth across the apartment, villa, commercial, and plot sectors since 2021.
“Property values have grown faster than transaction numbers in all segments, highlighting solid market momentum,” said Firas Al Msaddi, CEO of fäm Properties. “Rising prices are driving overall growth, especially encouraging for long-term investors.”
Apartments recorded the sharpest rise in value, up 451.7 percent since 2021 to AED240.5 billion, while transaction volumes climbed 339.1 percent to 123,400. Villas followed with a 302 percent jump in value to AED162 billion, and plots rose 378.7 percent to AED85.2 billion. Commercial property also posted gains, with value up 413.6 percent to AED11.3 billion.
Analysts attribute the continued momentum to strong population growth, expanding foreign investor base, and sustained rental yields. The data points to a maturing real estate cycle driven by demand fundamentals rather than speculative spikes, signalling long-term stability for Dubai’s property market, they add.
