Dubai real estate transactions top AED 13.87 billion in weekly trading
Dubai real estate transactions reach AED 13.87 billion this week through 4,261 deals, with sales amounting to AED 8.72 billion across residential, building and land transfers.
Weekly market totals and headline figures
This week Dubai real estate transactions recorded AED 13.87 billion in value across 4,261 recorded deeds, central to the city’s property activity. Sales accounted for AED 8.72 billion of that total, reflecting continued demand in multiple property segments.
The volume of transactions demonstrates a balanced market mix that includes ready properties and off‑plan units, as well as mortgages and gift transfers. These figures come from the Dubai REST application data managed by Dubai’s Lands Department.
Breakdown of sales by property type
Sales comprised 3,017 transactions in total, distributed across residential units, buildings and land plots. There were 2,597 residential sales, 208 building transfers and 212 land sales during the week.
This composition highlights the dominance of residential property in Dubai’s market, while building and land transfers continue to play a material supporting role. The distribution signals ongoing appetite for both individual homes and development parcels.
Ready properties versus off‑plan activity
Ready property sales reached approximately AED 5.23 billion through 1,013 transactions, with 725 related to residential units, 76 to buildings and 212 to lands. Buyers continued to show preference for completed assets that offer immediate occupancy or rental income.
Off‑plan sales on the map totalled about AED 3.49 billion from 2,004 transactions, including 1,872 residential off‑plan purchases and 132 building deals. The off‑plan segment remains a key driver of new project funding and reflects investor interest in future supply.
Mortgage lending and financing patterns
Mortgage registrations numbered 1,047 deals, with a combined value of AED 3.82 billion for the week. Lenders recorded 615 mortgages on residential units, 129 on buildings and 303 against land parcels.
The mortgage data indicate sustained lending activity supporting acquisition and development. The relative share of mortgage value underscores the role of credit in facilitating both end‑user purchases and investor transactions.
Gifts and non‑sale transfers
Gifts (hibah) amounted to AED 1.33 billion over 197 transactions, comprised of 143 residential transfers, 14 building gifts and 40 land gifts. These non‑sale transfers continue to be used for estate planning and intra‑family property allocation.
While gifts represent a smaller portion of total activity by count, their cumulative value remains significant and reflects private wealth transfer dynamics within Dubai’s property landscape. Authorities regularly record these transfers as part of comprehensive deed monitoring.
Daily snapshot: trading on the day
On the most recent trading day, Dubai recorded AED 2.28 billion in real estate transactions across 517 deals. Sales dominated that daily total at AED 1.73 billion, while mortgages amounted to AED 471.83 million and gifts to AED 74.93 million.
Sales represented about 75.97% of the day’s transactions, mortgages accounted for 20.74%, and gifts made up roughly 3.29%. The single‑day breakdown underscores how daily flows of sales and financing combine to produce the weekly performance.
Dubai real estate transactions continue to show a multi‑faceted market with active participation from end users, investors and financiers. Observers note that the balance between ready inventory and off‑plan offerings, coupled with steady mortgage volumes and occasional high‑value gifts, supports a resilient transaction ecosystem in the city.
