July Dubai Real Estate Record

Dubai’s real estate sector delivered another standout month in July 2025, registering AED 65 billion in total sales value- the second-highest monthly figure ever recorded, according to the Dubai Land Department. This represents a 43% year-on-year increase in transaction value and reflects ongoing momentum across both the off-plan and secondary markets. 

A total of 20,080 transactions were recorded during the month, marking a 46% increase compared to July 2024. The surge in activity was largely driven by off-plan sales, which accounted for 64% of total volume. Developers have responded to sustained demand with a continuous stream of launches, particularly in the luxury and branded residential segments. 

The value of off-plan transactions alone exceeded AED 36 billion, while secondary market sales reached AED 29 billion, signalling continued confidence across buyer segments—from end-users to seasoned investors. Properties in prime waterfront locations such as Palm Jumeirah and Dubai Marina remained among the most transacted, alongside growing activity in emerging master-planned communities like Dubai South and MBR City. 

The market’s performance also reflects the increasing role of international buyers, supported by visa reforms, safe-haven status, and competitive yields. Branded residences in particular are commanding premium prices, with recent launches selling out within days and achieving above-market averages in both price per square foot and absorption rates. 

As the city continues to evolve into a global luxury capital, Christie’s International Real Estate Dubai expects demand to remain high through Q3 and Q4, driven by strong fundamentals and Dubai’s enduring appeal to global investors.
