Dubai property market surges in August
The Dubai real estate sector recorded AED51.1 billion ($13.9 billion) in sales this past August, marking a 7.9% year-on-year increase. The city logged 18,678 property transactions, up 15.4% compared to the same month in 2024, underscoring continued momentum in the market.
Apartment sales drive growth
Apartments remained the dominant asset class, generating AED30.2 billion in sales from 15,900 transactions, a notable 29.2% jump in volume year-on-year, according to fäm Properties. Commercial properties also saw robust activity, with sales hitting AED1.2 billion across 442 deals, reflecting a 20.4% rise in transaction volume. Additionally, 392 plot sales valued at AED8.9 billion represented a 7.4% increase from last August.
Villas face slowdown, but prices rise
While demand for villas softened, with sales dropping 38.1% in volume to 1,944 transactions, the segment still brought in AED10.9 billion. Importantly, the average price per square foot rose 15.2% to AED1,720, highlighting strong pricing power even amid lower volumes.
Resilience through the summer months
“This performance demonstrates the strength and resilience of Dubai’s real estate market, even during the traditionally slower summer season,” said Firas Al Msaddi, CEO of fäm Properties. “Dubai continues to cement its reputation as a global hub for property investment.”
Steady year-on-year growth
The August sales figures continue a remarkable growth trend seen over the past five years:
2020: AED4.7B (2,500 transactions)
2021: AED15B (5,800)
2022: AED23.4B (9,400)
