Last updated: 10 months ago

Dubai's real estate market achieved an unprecedented milestone in October 2024, with a record 20,460 sales transactions, as revealed by Property Monitor.

October’s record-breaking figures marked a 13% increase from September, reaching over 20,000 transactions for the first time in Dubai's history.

According to Property Monitor, off-plan and under-construction properties made up an impressive 73% of the total transactions, showcasing strong investor confidence in Dubai’s real estate sector. The residential sector dominated, with over 19,400 sales, nearly 95% of all transactions.

Zhann Jochinke, COO of Property Monitor, noted, “Dubai’s property market continues its upward trajectory, fueled by favorable interest rates, an influx of new projects, and a growing preference for ownership over renting. October has further demonstrated this dynamic, with off-plan properties driving much of the growth.”

The highest sale for a completed property was a luxurious villa in Jumeirah Bay, which sold for AED 175 million ($48 million). Meanwhile, an off-plan villa in EOME on Palm Jumeirah’s western crescent commanded an impressive AED 170.5 million ($46 million).

Top developers for off-plan sales in October were:

  • Emaar – Leading with 2,053 sales (16.3% market share)
