The latest Q3 2025 Market Report by Betterhomes reveals a sophisticated shift in Dubai’s luxury real estate landscape, with 492 secondary sales and 245 off-plan transactions highlighting continued investor confidence.
Palm Jumeirah emerged as the standout performer, accounting for 34% of all prime residential transactions during the quarter. The top-performing areas for secondary sales included The Oasis, Dubai Hills Estate, Palm Jumeirah, Mohammed Bin Rashid City, and Nad Al Sheba.
Louis Harding, CEO of Betterhomes, emphasized the market’s evolution: “Dubai’s luxury real estate market is transitioning from hypergrowth to healthy stabilisation. Prices remain strong, demand from international buyers is steady, and quality continues to drive decisions at the top end of the market.”
While secondary market transactions declined from Q2’s peak of 1,153, the volumes remain significantly above the city’s long-term average. This trend indicates market maturity rather than weakness in the high-end segment.
The data reinforces Dubai’s position as a global real estate safe haven, supported by its stable currency environment and strong foreign investment flows. As the market evolves, sustainable growth becomes the new benchmark for success.
