The Dubai real estate market continues to demonstrate exceptional resilience and growth, with total transaction value jumping significantly compared to the previous year. According to analysis by Property Finder, the market’s performance is particularly notable in the off-plan property segment.
Key highlights of the January 2026 property market include:
- Total transaction value reached AED72.4bn ($19.72bn), a 63% increase year-on-year
- Off-plan property sales saw a remarkable 128% increase compared to the same period last year
- Completed property transactions also grew, with a 38% increase in sales volume
The market’s strength is evident across different property categories. Residential properties, in particular, have shown robust performance, with villa sales experiencing significant traction.
“Dubai has demonstrated a remarkable market trajectory with a double-digit growth performance, reflecting strong investor confidence and the emirate’s attractive real estate ecosystem,” said a Property Finder representative.
Experts attribute this growth to several factors, including investor confidence, attractive payment plans, and Dubai’s continuing appeal as a global real estate destination. The off-plan market has been especially dynamic, with developers offering competitive pricing and flexible payment structures.
This performance aligns with Dubai’s broader economic strategy of maintaining an attractive and transparent real estate market that appeals to both local and international investors.
