Dubai real estate deals rise 20% in 2025
Dubai’s real estate market grew further in 2025, recording around 270,000 transactions worth AED917 billion ($250 billion), up 20 percent year on year.
The expansion was driven by a broader investor base, including a surge in new buyers, as well as transparent regulations, UAE state-run Wam news agency reported.
The results support Dubai’s real estate strategy, which aims to raise transaction volume to AED1 trillion by 2033.
The investor base grew by 24 percent to 193,100, including 129,600 new investors, up 23 percent year on year. Resident investors accounted for 57 percent of the total.
Women invested AED154 billion across 76,700 deals, an increase of 31 percent in value and 24 percent in deal volume.
Luxury property investments reached nearly AED4 billion, up 5 percent.
Meanwhile, the average time for a renter to become an investor was 4.8 years, the report said.
