Dubai Property Market Posts Record Weekly Volume; 10.68 Billion Dirhams in Transactions

Dubai’s real estate market logged 4,092 completed deals worth more than 10.68 billion dirhams in a single seven-day period, according to transaction data from the emirate. The figures point to sustained investor confidence across multiple property categories.

Sales transactions formed the largest share of that activity, generating 7.11 billion dirhams. Within that figure, residential unit sales accounted for 2,708 transactions, building sales totaled 179 deals, and land sales reached 211 transactions, combining for 3,098 sales-related deals across the week.

The market’s transaction structure breaks into three primary categories: ready-made property sales, off-plan property sales, and financing and transfer instruments. Ready-made properties generated approximately 3.17 billion dirhams through 948 completed deals, a segment that included 676 residential unit transactions, 61 building sales, and 211 land transactions. Off-plan property sales, by contrast, recorded substantially higher activity, reaching approximately 3.94 billion dirhams across 2,150 deals. Those off-plan transactions comprised 2,032 residential unit sales and 118 building transactions.

Off-plan, in short, outpaced ready-made property in both value and volume.

Mortgage financing represented a significant secondary component of the week’s activity. Lenders and buyers completed 845 mortgage transactions valued at 2.77 billion dirhams. Residential mortgages dominated that segment with 500 transactions, followed by 118 building-related mortgages and 227 land mortgages. The scale of credit activity, more than a quarter of total weekly transaction value, points to sustained financing availability and buyer capacity within the market.

Meanwhile, property transfers through gifts and donations totaled 806.35 million dirhams across 149 transactions. Gift transactions included 106 residential unit transfers, 13 building transfers, and 30 land transfers, a relatively modest share that confirms non-commercial property transfers remain a minor component of overall market activity in the emirate.

Daily patterns within the week show variation. Friday recorded approximately 1.32 billion dirhams in total transaction value across 466 deals. Sales transactions on that day reached 790.68 million dirhams, mortgage transactions amounted to 503.52 million dirhams, and gift transactions totaled 30.59 million dirhams. Sales accounted for roughly 59.68 percent of Friday’s total volume, with mortgages representing 38.01 percent and gifts comprising approximately 2.31 percent.

Whether off-plan sales continue to outpace the ready-made segment in coming weeks will be a key indicator of where developer and buyer appetite is actually heading.
