The Dubai real estate market continues its record-breaking momentum, with sales transactions in July 2025 reaching AED63.6bn ($17.3bn) — a 27 per cent year-on-year increase in value and a 24 per cent rise in transaction volume, according to new data from Property Finder.
The primary ready segment recorded 1,961 transactions worth AED12.2bn ($3.3bn), marking a 66 per cent increase in volume and a 56 per cent rise in value compared with July 2024, reflecting strong buyer confidence in completed developments.
