Dubai’s property market demonstrated remarkable resilience in October, with total residential and commercial transactions reaching AED46.26bn ($12.6bn). The sector’s performance highlights the city’s continued attractiveness to investors and residents alike.
Key highlights of the October 2025 real estate report include:
- Transaction Volume: 18,232 deals across residential and commercial segments
- Off-Plan Market: 71.4% of transactions were off-plan, signaling strong investor confidence
- Pricing Trends:
- Off-plan apartments averaged AED2,024 ($551) per sqft
- Ready apartments averaged AED1,715 ($467) per sqft
Farooq Syed, CEO of Springfield Properties, noted: “Crossing AED46bn in transaction value this month reinforces Dubai’s position as one of the world’s most resilient and desirable real estate markets. The momentum is now being driven by a healthy mix of end-user demand and long-term investor confidence.”
The market’s strength is underpinned by several key factors, including:
- 4.47% year-on-year population growth
- Expanded Golden Visa incentives
- Ongoing infrastructure investments
Commercial real estate also performed consistently, with notable activity in Grade A office spaces in Business Bay, DIFC, and One Central. The rental market remained robust, with 48,568 units leased and a total rental value of AED4.37bn ($1.19bn).
As Dubai’s population approaches 3.8 million residents and enters its busiest quarter, analysts expect sustained absorption across residential and commercial segments through the end of 2025.
The market continues to distinguish itself globally through transparency, liquidity, and long-term investor confidence.
