New data and information released by the Land Department has shown that the real estate sector in Dubai recorded a huge AED 16.29 billion worth of transactions in one week. This amounts to around $4.4 billion USD in dollar terms.
According to the data released, sales transactions dominated the figures with a total of AED 10.96 billion in sales recorded – amounting to around $3 billion USD. In total, there were 4,695 sales recorded in Dubai from the period of August 11 to August 15, 2025.
Total transactions, including new rentals signed, amounted to $4.4 billion USD according to the Land Department figures. Experts are suggesting that rising property values, new towers, and higher volumes of transactions in both the sales and rentals sector is a signal for new organic growth within the Dubai real estate market.
Of the transactions listed on the Land Department website, one included a luxury apartment that sold for AED 100 million – or $27 million USD. Another apartment in the Business Bay area of the city was sold for a total of AED 57 million, or around $15 million USD.
More and more buyers are turning to mortgages when purchasing real estate in the UAE and Dubai, according to data. The Land Department information shows that mortgaged home transactions during August 11 to August 15 totalled AED 4.3 billion. This equates to around $1.2 billion USD, or just over a quarter of all transactions.
Finally, gift transactions during the same period were valued at just over AED 1 billion – in dollar terms that amounts to $275 million USD. With nationals from over 200 countries now living in Dubai, there has never been a better time to invest.
