Dubai Real Estate Market Snapshot – Week 2, September 2025
Dubai’s real estate momentum eased slightly after a strong opening to September. The city still recorded over 4,000 transactions worth AED 10.3 billion, proving demand remains resilient across both residential and commercial assets. Rentals also picked up pace, outshining Week 1 levels.
Residential Highlights
Apartments once again led the charge with 3,400+ sales totaling AED 6 billion. Villas followed at 371 deals worth AED 2.1 billion, supported by growing family demand for space and lifestyle-driven communities.
Off-plan remained the star of the show—more than 70% of sales came from new launches, with developers continuing to attract buyers with payment flexibility and strong branding.
What stood out? Larger layouts. 4–6 B/R apartments and villas secured the best values, underlining Dubai’s ongoing shift toward spacious homes.
Commercial Trends
The commercial segment closed 133 transactions worth AED 316 million. Offices dominated, contributing AED 232 million, thanks in part to Samana Developers, who alone registered 47 office sales. Retail spaces, though smaller in number, continued to achieve premium returns—making them attractive for yield-focused investors.
Rentals on the Rise
On the rental side, demand showed no signs of cooling. Over 15,000 residential contracts worth AED 1.42 billion were recorded, alongside 6,900+ commercial contracts worth AED 609 million. Renewals stayed strong in residential, while commercial leasing saw fresh entrants—businesses expanding into Dubai’s growth corridors.
