Dubai Posts Strong Sales Quarter

Dubai’s property market has continued its remarkable run in 2025, logging one of its strongest quarters on record.

Analysis of Q1’s transaction data shows total resi sales jumped 23% year-on-year to over 42,000 deals, with a combined sales value of around AED 114bn/c.£23bn (up 29%).

Off-plan property accounted for 59% of all the transactions during the period, and top-end neighbourhoods drove much of the growth.

Communities including Dubai Hills Estate, Palm Jumeirah, and Jumeirah Golf Estates in particular saw “strong buyer interest” and were among the top-performers.

The average resi sales price hit AED 1,535 per square foot, up 16% compared to Q1 2024.
