Dubai’s property market has long been a hub for both local and international investors. In 2025, the market’s momentum has continued, particularly in the off-plan segment, which is showing unprecedented growth.
According to a recent report, off-plan property sales in Dubai reached an all-time high in the third quarter of 2025, with 42,000 units sold and total transaction values hitting AED 138 billion. This represents a 24% increase compared to the same period last year and means off-plan properties now account for 76% of all residential transactions in the city.
Developers are responding to this surge in demand by accelerating construction timelines and introducing projects across all price points. The average project cycle has decreased significantly, from 1,340 days in 2023 to 880 days today.
In the third quarter, approximately 9,400 new homes were completed, slightly below initial forecasts. However, the delivery pipeline remains robust, with 366,000 units scheduled for completion through 2028. Average home prices increased by 16% year-on-year, while rents rose 11%, showing early signs of a moderation in rental inflation after two years of steep growth.
The luxury segment remains highly active, with sales of homes worth over AED 50 million totaling AED 5.9 billion in the quarter, demonstrating continued demand from high-net-worth buyers.
