Dubai's property market recorded AED 160 billion in sales throughout the first 100 days of 2025, reinforcing the city's position as a premier global investment hub. Expert Real Estate Company compiled the figures from official Dubai Land Department records covering January 1 to April 10, 2025.
50,853 Transactions in the First 100 Days
Buyers completed 50,853 transactions during the period, broken down across three segments:
- 38,384 residential sales - 4,756 building deals - 7,713 land transactions
When mortgages and gifted properties are included, total real estate activity reached AED 216.3 billion across 63,491 deals. Mortgage registrations accounted for AED 45.91 billion across 10,425 transactions, while property gifts totalled AED 10.7 billion from 2,213 cases.
What Is Driving Dubai Real Estate Sales
Alaa Massoud, Chairman of Expert Real Estate Company, credited Dubai's performance to transparent governance and forward-thinking strategic policy. "The Dubai Land Department established trust and transparency which made it essential to recognise its vital role in achieving real estate success," Massoud said.
He added that international investors, entrepreneurs, high-net-worth individuals, and professionals are drawn to Dubai's thriving economy and safe environment — factors that continue to push sales numbers higher.
Expanded residency visa programmes and freehold property benefits have also strengthened the preference of long-term residents to purchase rather than rent, adding a structural tailwind to demand.
Dubai's Global Real Estate Standing
Dubai's reputation as a top-tier international real estate destination rests on several pillars: world-class infrastructure, high safety standards, intelligent urban planning, and modern utility systems. These attributes consistently attract capital from across Europe, Asia, and the wider Middle East.
The property sector remains a vital engine of Dubai's broader economy, and the trajectory seen in the first 100 days of 2025 signals continued momentum throughout the year.
