Dubai Real Estate Records Strongest Growth to Date
Dubai’s property market continued its strong upward momentum in July, posting the highest transaction volume of the year so far and achieving the second-best monthly sales performance on record in both value and volume.
In 2025, Dubai’s real estate sector is delivering its strongest performance to date, reflecting the emirate’s evolution into a more mature and sustainable market. Growth is being driven by genuine, well-balanced demand across all residential and commercial property segments.
Market data shows that villa capital values rose by 25.5 percent year-on-year, underscoring strong investor and end-user confidence. Average freehold villa prices have climbed significantly since the post-pandemic period and have now exceeded the previous market peak recorded in 2014, signaling a long-term structural shift toward premium locations, higher build quality, and enduring value.
Top-performing villa communities include Jumeirah Islands, Palm Jumeirah, Green Community West, The Meadows, Victory Heights, and Mudon. These areas benefit from integrated master planning, robust infrastructure, and limited supply, which continue to support price appreciation.
Apartment prices also recorded solid gains, particularly in Remraam, Dubai Silicon Oasis, The Greens, and Dubai Land Residence Complex. This growth reflects sustained demand for mid-market housing, driven by population growth and a diverse range of buyers. Notably, apartment prices have surpassed their 2014 peak for the first time, indicating a healthier and more balanced growth cycle.
The luxury residential segment remains resilient, with strong demand in prime locations such as Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Hills Estate, Al Barari, Downtown Dubai, and Business Bay.
Overall, Dubai’s clear economic direction and strong regulatory framework continue to support long-term growth in the real estate sector, reinforcing investor confidence and market stability.
