- Sep 08,2025
The Dubai real estate sector continues to showcase its strength and global appeal, with the Dubai Land Department (DLD) recording AED16.86 billion ($4.6 billion) worth of transactions in just one week, between September 1 and 5. This remarkable performance highlights not only investor confidence but also the continued momentum of Dubai’s property market across residential, commercial, and luxury segments.
Sales Activity Remains Strong
Sales transactions formed the bulk of activity, with AED11.32 billion ($3.1 billion) worth of deals concluded over the week. In total, the market saw 4,146 sales transactions, underscoring healthy demand from both local and international buyers. The figures reflect Dubai’s growing position as one of the most attractive destinations for real estate investment, offering a unique combination of lifestyle, stability, and long-term returns.
High-Value Transactions Lead the Week
Among the standout deals recorded were several high-value transactions in some of the city’s most prestigious addresses. An office in Emaar Square at Burj Khalifa was sold for AED95 million ($25.9 million), reflecting the demand for prime commercial spaces in central Dubai. Luxury residential sales also made headlines, including an apartment in Aman Residences, Jumeirah Second, which went for AED83.5 million ($22.7 million), and another office in Burj Khalifa Towers, sold for AED45 million ($12.2 million). These transactions underline the continued appetite for premium properties in Dubai’s most iconic locations.
Mortgage and Gift Transactions Add Depth
In addition to sales, the week also saw significant mortgage activity, with AED2.84 billion ($773 million) worth of mortgages recorded, demonstrating the confidence of end-users and investors leveraging financing options to secure assets. Gift transactions, another unique aspect of Dubai’s real estate market, accounted for AED2.7 billion ($735 million), reflecting transfers within families and strategic property reallocations.
A Market on the Rise
The strong figures from the first week of September reinforce Dubai’s real estate sector as one of the most resilient and dynamic in the world. With continuous investment in infrastructure, iconic developments, and lifestyle offerings, the city continues to attract buyers from across the globe. The diversity of transactions — from luxury penthouses and villas to high-value office spaces—reflects a broad-based growth that is supporting Dubai’s long-term vision as a global hub for living, business, and investment.
Dubai’s real estate market shows no signs of slowing down, and weeks like these serve as a reminder of its enduring global appeal and robust fundamentals.
