Total Sales Value and Volume
On the final Monday of 2025, Dubai’s property market demonstrated robust activity with
a total of 908 transactions recorded across diverse segments,
reflecting sustained buyer confidence and a dynamic market environment. The cumulative
worth of properties sold on this date reached an impressive 2.7 billion AED,
underscoring the significant liquidity flowing through the emirate’s real estate sector.
This volume and value combination highlights that Dubai continues to attract both domestic

rapid commercial expansion.
Alongside, high-value resale plots in Al Barsha South Fourth (50 million AED)
and Al Merkadh (41 million AED) demonstrate strong investor appetite in mature
