Dubai’s real estate market keeps the momentum going! In Week 46, the total transaction value reached AED 11.19 billion, spread across 5,160 deals. That’s a 5.1% increase in value from the previous week, even as the number of transactions dipped slightly by 1.1% compared with Week 45.
Whether you’re an investor, a homeowner, or just a property enthusiast, here’s everything you need to know in a format that’s easy to skim, understand, and digest.
Off-Plan vs Ready Properties
Off-plan developments continue to dominate Dubai’s property scene. Here’s the breakdown for Week 46:
- Off-plan: AED 7.53 billion (67.23% of total transactions)
- Ready properties: AED 3.67 billion (32.77% of total transactions)
Off-plan sales clearly remain the engine driving Dubai’s property market, showing strong buyer confidence in upcoming projects and flexible payment options.
Transactions by Property Type
Let’s break down the numbers by category:
| Property Type | Off-Plan (AED m) | Ready (AED m) | Total (AED m) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flats | 6,203.3 | 2,570.7 | 8,774.0 |
| Villas | 793.2 | 730.1 | 1,523.3 |
| Hotel Apartments & Rooms | 28.1 | 116.2 | 144.3 |
| Commercials | 500.6 | 250.9 | 751.5 |
| Total | 7,525.1 | 3,668.0 | 11,193.1 |
Key takeaways:
- Flats dominate the market, making up ~78% of total value.
- Villas maintain a solid presence, particularly in high-demand communities.
- Commercial and hotel properties contribute a smaller share, but they remain attractive for investors seeking diversification.
What This Means for Buyers and Investors
- Off-plan advantage: Buyers still favor off-plan projects for flexible payment plans and potential capital appreciation.
- Villa demand: Villas are holding their value, showing consistent interest among long-term homeowners and investors.
- Market stability: The slight drop in transaction volume, paired with a rise in value, suggests the market is healthy not overheated.
The Bottom Line
Dubai’s property market remains dynamic, resilient, and investor-friendly. Week 46 demonstrates that while the number of transactions may fluctuate slightly, value growth continues, driven largely by off-plan developments and strong interest in flats and villas.
For investors, it’s a reminder: Dubai’s real estate market still offers opportunities whether you’re eyeing off-plan launches or ready properties in high-demand areas.
