Dubai's real estate market figures were once again exceptional in July 2025. Contrary to what some international analysts had anticipated, the market has continued to grow, and very significantly so. In this article, we take a look at the key figures for the Dubai real estate market, and offer our analysis.

An accelerating market

Dubai's real estate market enjoyed an exceptional July 2025, breaking new records and confirming its attractiveness to investors from around the world. A total of 20,322 sales were recorded, up 25% on July 2024. The average sqft price was €4105 per m², up 9.6% year-on-year. The overall value of transactions reached AED 65.1 billion, or around €15.14 billion, up 29.7% year-on-year.

Apartments, the main growth driver

The apartment segment continues to dominate the market, with 16,286 sales in July, representing an increase of 28.2% on the previous year. The total value of sales amounted to AED 32.3 billion, or around €7.51 billion. Average prices continue to rise, particularly in popular districts such as Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina and Business Bay. International buyers are above all looking for strategic locations, close to services and well-connected, which is driving up prices.

Villas: stability at the top of the range

The villa market is showing more moderate momentum, but remains solid, with 2,967 sales recorded, up 5.6% year-on-year. Transaction values reached AED 19.1 billion, or around €4.44 billion. The most sought-after properties are located in high-end or beachfront serucirated communities, such as Palm Jumeirah, Emirates Hills or Dubai Hills Estate. This segment attracts a wealthy clientele looking for spacious, exclusive properties.

Explosion of the commercial market

The commercial segment is enjoying impressive growth, with 607 sales in July, a spectacular 58.1% increase on last year. Transaction values reached AED 1.5 billion, or around €348 million. This growth is being driven by strong demand for office and retail space, particularly in Business Bay, Downtown Dubai and Jumeirah Lake Towers, where economic recovery and the rise of new businesses are fuelling activity.

Land: a booming business

Building plots confirmed their attractiveness with 462 sales in July, up 29.1% on 2024. The total value reached AED 12.2 billion, or around €2.84 billion. Peripheral development zones, such as Dubai South and Mohammed Bin Rashid City, are attracting developers and investors thanks to their high appreciation potential and opportunities for large-scale projects.

Outlook for the second half of 2025

All indicators suggest that the Dubai real estate market will continue to grow in the second half of 2025. International demand remains buoyant, driven by the country's tax appeal, political stability and quality infrastructure. European investors, in particular, are attracted by competitive rental yields and strong potential for capital appreciation. In an uncertain global environment, Dubai continues to establish itself as a safe and profitable real estate location.
