Dubai real estate Q2 '25 sales transactions hit Dhs184.9bn: Property Finder
Dubai's real estate sector recorded its strongest quarter on record in Q2 2025, with 53,252 property sales transactions totaling Dhs184.3bn, according to data released by real estate portal, Property Finder.
The figures mark a 22 per cent year-on-year increase in transaction volume and a 49 per cent surge in value, reflecting Dubai's status as one of the world's most resilient and attractive property markets.
The historic performance builds on a robust Q1 and reflects sustained confidence from both investors and end-users amid global economic uncertainty.
Ready real estate market drives growth
Dubai's ready property market led the gains with 22,975 transactions, a 33 per cent increase from Q2 2024.
Transaction value rose by 62 per cent to Dhs115.5bn, up from Dhs71.3bn last year — surpassing previous peaks in both value and volume.
The segment contributed 43 per cent of total market activity, as rising rental prices pushed more residents toward home ownership.
According to Property Finder, the shift indicates a longer-term trend away from renting and into owner-occupied homes.
Off-plan segment sets new record
The off-plan segment also delivered record-breaking results, with 30,277 transactions, up 16 per cent year-on-year, and a total value of Dhs68.8bn, a 31 per cent increase over Q2 2024.
The segment accounted for 57 per cent of total Q2 transactions, reflecting investor confidence in Dubai's regulatory stability and future growth.

Dubai property market boom in 2025: Why prices are rising in key areas
Dubai's property market is experiencing renewed growth, powered by young digital-savvy buyers, foreign capital, and major infrastructure projects like the new Metro Blue Line. A significant catalyst is the announcement of the Dubai Metro Blue Line, which has begun revitalising previously underperforming areas such as Dubai Silicon Oasis, Academic City, and Mirdif. According to Springfield Properties, demand is increasingly focused on infrastructure-linked zones and well-established master-planned communities. The firm also reported a marked increase in foreign capital inflows during the second quarter, fuelled by currency-driven affordability and rising confidence in Dubai's regulatory environment. 'There is a strong alignment between investor confidence, infrastructure delivery, and the long-term fundamentals that continue to support Dubai's real estate market,' said Farooq Syed, CEO of Springfield Properties. 'Locations connected to the new Metro Blue Line are already seeing upward price movement. International buyers from the UK, Europe, and India are leveraging currency arbitrage to acquire dirham-denominated assets. Meanwhile, digital platforms, particularly those powered by AI, are streamlining the decision-making process for buyers, especially in financing and location selection,' he added. Off-plan developments remain highly attractive to investors, driven by flexible payment plans and early access to infrastructure-enhanced communities, both of which contribute to strong transaction volumes. Dubai maintains a balanced market Despite price increases in certain areas, Dubai's property market remains well-balanced. Munir Al Deraawi, founder and CEO of Orla Properties, attributes this to the city's strong economic momentum, global appeal, and long-term urban planning. 'While prices have risen in select zones, Dubai remains more affordable compared to global cities such as London, New York, and Hong Kong,' Al Deraawi said. 'This suggests the market is on a path of sustainable growth rather than heading toward a speculative bubble.' Crucially, Dubai's real estate market is no longer reliant on buyers from any single region. 'Investors now come from across the globe – the GCC, Europe, Asia, Russia, and Africa. This broad and diversified demand base enhances the market's resilience and shields it from volatility tied to any one region,' Al Deraawi explained. He also highlighted that improved regulatory frameworks around financing have helped curb excessive speculation, reducing the risk of a market bubble. Looking ahead, Farooq Syed of Springfield Properties expects the emirate to end 2025 with stable yields, high absorption rates in infrastructure-connected zones, and continued recognition as a global benchmark for secure, high-return real estate investment.
