Dubai's real estate sector recorded AED 15.61 billion ($4.3 billion) in total transactions between April 20 and 24, according to data from the Dubai Land Department. A $32 million apartment in Marsa Dubai was among the week's standout deals, underscoring the market's continued appetite for ultra-prime property.
Weekly Transaction Breakdown
Dubai real estate transactions for the week were driven primarily by sales activity. Sales deals led at AED 10.98 billion ($3 billion) across 3,075 recorded transactions. Mortgage activity added AED 3.3 billion ($899 million), while gift transactions during the same period were valued at AED 1.33 billion ($362 million).
That wider context matters for anyone following Dubai’s property cycle. Dubai Land Department’s open data gives readers a way to review transaction activity by date, area, property type and value, helping separate verified market movement from broker commentary. For buyers, sellers and investors, weekly totals are useful because they show where activity is concentrated and whether demand is being led by sales, mortgages, gifts, off-plan activity, ready homes or ultra-prime deals.

What the Numbers Signal
The week's figures reflect the broader momentum in Dubai's property market.

The week of April 20–24 — with 3,075 sales deals alone — is consistent with that trajectory, pointing to sustained institutional and investor confidence across both off-plan and ready segments.
