Here’s a rephrased version of the article from Khaleej Times about Dubai’s real estate performance: (Khaleej Times)
Dubai’s property market delivered an unprecedented performance in 2025, recording the strongest year ever in terms of sales volume and value, according to the Engel & Völkers Middle East 2025 Annual Market Report. (Magzter)
Last year saw over 202,000 property transactions and total residential sales hit approximately AED 546.8 billion — marking historic highs for the emirate. (Magzter)
Rather than being driven by short-term spikes, the market’s expansion reflected deeper, more sustainable demand, with growth anchored in long-term fundamentals such as political stability, world-class infrastructure, and Dubai’s competitive tax environment. (Magzter)
Apartments dominated activity, making up the bulk of deals. Transactions for flats surged to around 167,841, with sales value climbing more than 30 % on the previous year. This increase was supported by robust off-plan activity alongside steady interest in established communities, highlighting ongoing confidence in Dubai’s development pipeline. (Khaleej Times)
The villa segment also recorded notable growth, with sales value rising strongly as demand broadened beyond traditional premium districts into upper mid-market neighbourhoods. Townhouses likewise reached record annual volumes. (Magzter)
Even the luxury segment remained highly active, with several high-value deals above AED 10 million and strong performances in premier locales such as Palm Jumeirah, Jumeirah and La Mer. (Magzter)
Looking forward, analysts expect 2026 to be a year of consolidation, with activity driven by market depth and quality rather than rapid acceleration, underpinned by stable demand from both investors and end-users. (Magzter)
