Dubai Real Estate Market Report — June, 2025

Dubai Real Estate Market Report – June 2025

Dubai's property market notched fresh highs in June 2025, logging 16,717 deals worth AED 56.19 billion spanning every property type — its best June yet on both volume and value. On the apartment, villa and commercial footing that underpins this report, transaction numbers grew +18% year on year to 16,385, while value pushed ahead +22% to AED 46.92 billion.

Tellingly, the surge in dealmaking left prices unshaken. The citywide median stayed steady at AED 1,645/sqft, and each core segment recorded its loftiest June price per square foot across the 12-year series. Here was a market advancing on two fronts simultaneously — a greater number of sales, and costlier ones.

Headline figures

Year-on-year performance by category

Apartments carried the load. The category recorded 12,976 sales, a +24% year-on-year gain and 2,472 above the corresponding month last year — the strongest June turnover in the 12-year series. Value rose quicker still, leaping +37% to AED 26.49 billion, with the median price hitting AED 1,744/sqft (+12% over the year and +43% above the 2014 baseline). A typical apartment traded for AED 1,287,108, up +7%.

Villas reversed that volume picture yet mirrored it on price. They alone among the categories retreated, dipping -1% to 3,015 deals — a mere 37 short of the prior year. A thinner deal count did not signal a softer market: value nonetheless advanced +5% to AED 19.40 billion, the median price per square foot climbed to AED 1,515/sqft (+16% year on year and +95% over 2014), and the median ticket stood at AED 4,100,000. It was scarcity, rather than frailty, that shaped the villa story.

Commercial is only a sliver of the market by count, yet it grew the quickest of the trio. Its 394 deals rose +34% — the strongest June volume since 2014 — with value up +30% at AED 1.03 billion. Prices ran hot here as well, reaching AED 1,740/sqft, a +30% yearly increase and +73% above the 2014 baseline, while the median ticket advanced +24% to AED 1,700,000.

Every category, including plots and buildings

Outside the three core segments, plots added 327 transactions worth AED 9.26 billion over June — a sizeable slice of the headline figure, underpinned by a median ticket of AED 5,510,400, with land changing hands at a median AED 795/sqft.

Primary versus resale

The primary (off-plan) market stayed out in front. It made up 68% of both volume and value — 11,101 deals worth AED 32.14 billion — leaving resale with the balance of 32%, or 5,284 transactions amounting to AED 14.78 billion. Because resale's value and volume shares matched exactly, secondary stock changed hands broadly in step with the broader market rather than at any marked premium or discount.

Where the activity was

Dubai Investment Park Second headed the value table at AED 4.40 billion, ahead of Business Bay (AED 2.15 billion), Marsa Dubai (AED 2.00 billion), Al Yelayiss 1 (AED 1.89 billion) and Me'Aisem Second (AED 1.74 billion). On deal count, Al Barsha South Fourth came first with 1,475 transactions, trailed by Business Bay (929), Dubai Investment Park Second (829), Al Hebiah First (762) and Wadi Al Safa 5 (719) — with only Business Bay and Dubai Investment Park Second appearing in the top five on both counts.

Rental market

Rents climbed across the board. New apartment leases carried a median of AED 72,000 (+9.09%) over 9,653 contracts, while the bigger pool of 12,467 renewals settled at AED 58,800. New villa leases surged to a median AED 185,000 (+12.12%). The steepest shifts landed in commercial space, where rent per square foot rose 21.30% on new agreements and 21.69% on renewals.

Supply

Developers kept feeding the pipeline. In all, 15,539 units were launched across 55 projects, versus a mere 2,582 units delivered from 5 projects — a launch-to-delivery ratio of 6.0 and a net 12,957 more units launched than completed. That gap signals a hefty supply wave still making its way toward handover.

Notes on methodology

Scope. Headline totals and the category table span every property category captured in the data, Plot and Building included. The primary/resale breakdown, top-area rankings and the year-on-year series count Apartment, Villa and Commercial alone, so those numbers are intentionally smaller than the headline and should not be summed across sections.

Rounding. The headline totals are the definitive rounded figures. Category-level breakdowns are rounded on their own and may not add up precisely to the headline.

Definitions. Price figures are medians rather than averages. Year-on-year sets the period against the same period twelve months prior. All values are in AED; areas in square feet.
