(MENAFN- Total Communications) Dubai real estate hits new peak as 2025 property sales soar to
AED559.4 billion

Busy October pushes transaction value past previous full-year record

Dubai, UAE, 3rd November, 2025: The Dubai real estate market reached another new peak in October, as the overall value of property sales for 2025 climbed to AED559.4 billion, surpassing the all-time record for a full year.

A market report issued today by fäm Properties shows that last month produced a total of 19,875 property transactions worth AED59.4 billion, taking the total number of deals for the first ten months to 178,244.

This ensures that 2025 will be another milestone year for Dubai real estate, following the previous full year record of 180,900 transactions valued at AED 522.1 billion in 2024.

Data from DXB interact showed that apartment sales led the way in October in terms of value and volume, with 16,238 deals amounting to AED31 billion, a 3.4% YoY increase in volume.

While Villas sales worth AED15.5 billion were down 36.8% in volume to 2,549 compared with October last year, land acquisitions climbed, with 399 plots selling for AED11 billion, a 23.9% YoY rise.

The biggest YoY growth in sales volume came in the commercial sector with 689 transactions - a 61.7% jump on last October - for AED1.9 billion. Meanwhile, the average property price per sq ft rose by 6.7% to AED1,692 per sq ft.

“The market overall is undeniably strong, and on a global scale, Dubai remains one of the best real estate markets to invest in, whether as an end user or investor,” said Firas Al Msaddi, CEO of fäm Properties.

“But it doesn’t mean every developer will win just because the market is healthy. Nor does it mean investors can make impulsive or uninformed decisions and expect success. The only consistent way to win is by making well-informed, data-backed decisions, whether you’re an individual investor or an institution.

“Fortunately, the Dubai Land Department has made this easier than ever. It has built one of the most transparent real estate ecosystems in the world, where every sale and lease transaction is publicly available.

“Today, DXBinteract provides full access to this data - empowering anyone to analyze, compare, and validate opportunities with facts, not assumptions. In short, this market will massively reward those who do their homework, and punish those who don’t.”

First sales from developers dominated in October, accounting for 13,926 transactions totalling AED38.7 billion, compared with 5,949 resales valued at AED 20.7 billion.

Dubai’ property sales in October have now reached the current level from AED6.8 billion (3,300 transactions) in 2020 to AED13.1 billion (5,400) in 2021, AED25.3 billion (8,700) in 2022, AED39.5 billion (12,200) in 2023 and AED 60.8 billion (20,500) last year.
