Dubai's real estate market continues to consolidate as one of the most dynamic and solid in the world. Over the past five years, cumulative property sales have exceeded 2 trillion dirhams (AED), driven by strong international demand, an increasingly mature regulatory environment and sustained investor confidence. Looking ahead to 2026, the sector is preparing for a new phase marked by the development of intelligent and sustainable projects.

Record number of transactions in 2025

The year 2025 closed with unprecedented numbers. Dubai registered 214,900 real estate transactions, which represents a year-on-year growth of 38% and the highest annual trading volume ever achieved in the emirate. This activity reflects strong and diversified demand, which encompasses the residential, commercial and luxury segments.

Market strength isn't limited to just one type of asset. Self-use housing, investment properties, offices, commercial premises and prime developments have shown consistent behavior, supporting the overall stability of the sector.

Price evolution and market performance

Property prices have also maintained a clearly upward trend. Only in December 2025, property values in Dubai increased by 19.8%, confirming the strong momentum of the market. Sales volumes continue to accelerate year after year, while profitability and capital appreciation continue to attract both institutional investors and large international assets.

This sustained growth is supported by several structural factors: the emirate's economic expansion, its position as a global financial and logistics center, the constant arrival of residents with high purchasing power and an increasingly transparent and favorable legal framework for foreign investment.

Perspectives for 2026: Focus on innovation and sustainability

With the current momentum, the market enters 2026 with strong growth. Analysts predict that the next stage of development will be marked by a greater commitment to smart cities, energy efficiency and sustainable real estate projects, aligned with Dubai's long-term strategy and the objectives of decarbonization and quality of life.

The combination of population growth, macroeconomic stability, urban innovation and investment confidence positions Dubai not only as an expanding market, but as a long-distance global real estate hub, capable of offering both security and high-return opportunities in an increasingly future-oriented environment.
