Dubai real estate market figures from February 2025
Exceptional! Dubai real estate market figures set new records in February 2025. It was the strongest February in Dubai's history. In this article, Dubai Immo presents detailed figures on the Dubai real estate market, together with our analysis.
Very high sales volume
The number of sales in February has never been so high. Official figures from the Dubai Land Department show 16,099 sales, representing a 35/5% increase on February 2024. In terms of total transaction value, the increase is even more impressive. Total real estate sales reached 51.1 billion dirhams, or almost 12.8 billion euros. This represents an increase of almost 40% on the same period last year. Off-plan sales accounted for 66% of total sales, compared with 34% for ready-to-buy transactions.
Growth by property type
Let's go into a detailed analysis of the figures, to understand which types of property are making the most headway:
- 11,364 apartments sold for a total of 5.35 billion euros (+21.3%)
- 3,679 villas sold for a total of 4.7 billion euros (+99.7%)
- 447 commercial premises sold for a total of 300 million euros (+40.1%)
- 608 plots sold for a total of 2.4 billion euros (+74.7%)
All types of property are therefore affected by this very significant growth in the market. This reflects a craze at all levels, which reflects the very healthy state of the Dubai real estate market.
Average prices by property type
We are seeing an increase in the average price for all property categories. Once again, this reflects the continuing overall interest of investors in all categories:

- Average price of commercial premises: €350,000, up 9.8%.
