Dubai’s real estate market has witnessed record growth, smashing records with Dh66.8 billion in sales in May 2025, according to a report by the online real estate portal Property Finder.
This milestone reflects a remarkable 44% year-on-year increase in transaction value and a 6% rise in volume, indicating sustained investor confidence and consistent interest in Dubai’s property sector.
Property Finder’s Chief Revenue Officer, Sharif Suleman, stated that while April was previously considered Dubai’s highest month for transactions, with deals worth AED 62.1 billion, May surpassed that record, reaching AED 66.8 billion.
He added that this highlights the durability of current trends driving growth in Dubai’s real estate market. Dubai continues to set benchmarks in property innovation, as demonstrated by the Dubai Land Department’s recent launch of the region’s first licensed tokenized property investment platform.
Suleman also pointed out that the city is experiencing a significant population increase — nearly 1,000 new residents arrive in Dubai daily, double last year’s daily visitor numbers — pushing housing demand to near record highs.
He further said that the market is benefiting from positive momentum, supported by digital transformation, international investor interest, and rising demand for high-quality housing.
Experts participating in Property Finder’s recent summit expressed optimism that transaction activity will further increase in 2025, driven by strong off-plan project performance, robust luxury resale market activity, and unprecedented international investor interest.
