Dubai Daily Property Market Sales Overview — Friday, 26 December 2025
Total Sales Value and Volume
On 26th December 2025, Dubai's real estate market demonstrated resilient momentum, recording a total sales volume of
920 transactions with an aggregate worth of approximately 2.8 billion AED. These figures are indicative of sustained demand across various sectors including residential plots, apartments, and villas.
The volume of 920 transactions underlines a healthy level of market activity, reflecting ongoing investor and end-user interest even during the year's final month, typically characterized by a slowdown due to holidays. The impressive total sales value emphasizes the strong positioning of Dubai's property market as a key global real estate hub.
This level of transaction volume combined with a multi-billion AED turnover signifies that both luxury buyers and mid-market investors remain confident. Such robust clinical demand suggests continued upward price trends and stability within Dubai’s property sectors, driven by visionary infrastructure, business-friendly policies, and expanding economic diversification.
The Most Prominent Transactions
A noteworthy highlight of the day is the dominance of primary market sales by developers, especially in the apartment and villa segments. Apartments accounted for
143 units sold directly from developers, generating a total volume of 213.4 million AED. This sector remains a cornerstone of Dubai's dynamic real estate environment, bolstered by consistent demand for new residential product launches.
Projects such as Empire Lake Views (46 units, 41.8M AED), Binghatti Amberhall (20 units, 21.2M AED), and Aspirz By Danube (18 units, 20.2M AED) showed strong pull, showcasing buyers’ appetites for reputed developments with quality offerings and enhanced amenities.
The villa segment showcased remarkable strength with 80 villas sold on the primary market, valued collectively at 317.8 million AED. Notably, Dubai Hills led villa sales with
16 villas transacted at a combined worth of 323.1 million AED, illustrating high confidence in premium suburban communities. Smaller villa projects such as Damac Hills (Victoria), Hadaeq Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid (District 7), and Dubai World Central contributed selectively but consistently.
The resale market, while smaller in volume, confirms ongoing liquidity particularly in coveted apartment towers and villa clusters. Sales in properties like Address Harbour Point Tower 2 and Trillionaire Residences By Binghatti reflect enduring demand in luxury resale segments.
Plot transactions also played a notable role, with sales such as the 1 plot in Al Barsha First worth 75 million AED and another colossal transaction (plot worth 385 million AED) reinforcing investor interest in land banking and potential future development opportunities.
The Most Expensive Properties Sold
Luxury market activity was particularly vibrant today, with several multi-million AED deals closing that signal strong appetite at the ultra-premium end of the spectrum.
The standout transaction was an enormous plot in Al Hebiah First measuring 127,114 square feet, sold on the primary market for an astounding 385 million AED. Such a large-scale land purchase highlights a continued confidence by large-scale developers and investors in Dubai’s long-term growth potential and strategic expansion areas.
Other significant luxury sales clustered predominantly in the Jumeirah First and Jumeirah Second regions, primarily involving large apartments ranging from approximately 3,800 to nearly 5,800 square feet. Prices for these units ranged between 28.9 million AED to 39.4 million AED, primarily on the primary market from developers. These top-tier transactions reflect Dubai's sustained ability to attract high-net-worth individuals seeking prime waterfront and luxury lifestyle dwellings, with a clear preference for brand-new, turnkey properties.
Resale plots and apartments also contributed prominently, including the sale of a 75 million AED plot in Al Barsha First and a notable resale plot in Al Thanayah Fourth worth 30 million AED. These sales confirm that land and redevelopment opportunities remain at the forefront of investor priorities.
