Dubai Real Estate Crosses Dh 51.1 Billion in August Sales

September 2, 2025

Dubai’s property sector continues to outperform expectations. In August alone, total real estate transactions surged to Dh51.1 billion, up 7.9% from the same month last year cementing 2025 as a record-setting year in the making (source: Khaleej Times).

Apartments dominated activity with over 15,900 units sold for Dh30.2 billion, marking a 29% jump in volume. Land deals added Dh8.9 billion, and commercial assets contributed Dh1.2 billion across 442 transactions. Villas, though lower in volume, saw average prices rise to Dh1,720 per sq ft, a sign of sustained demand for premium space.

To appreciate the pace of change, consider this: August 2020 saw just Dh4.7 billion in deals. Today’s tenfold leap isn’t just about capital inflows it signals a maturing, globally aligned real estate ecosystem.

As record sales from a Dh161 million Palm Jumeirah villa to a Dh100 million apartment make headlines, the real story lies in the data beneath. Strategic positioning is now critical.
