Dubai’s property market is showing no signs of deceleration, a new report revealed. The city has recorded its highest-ever second quarter in terms of residential sales volume and value, reaffirming its global standing as a premier real estate destination.
According to the latest market report released by Provident Estate, Q2 2025 witnessed 49,606 residential sales transactions, reflecting a 22 percent increase from Q2 2024 and a 82 percent surge compared to Q2 2023. This notable growth indicates a sustained appetite from both local buyers and global investors eager to secure assets in one of the world’s most dynamic property markets.
Total sales reached AED147.6 billion ($40.2 billion), climbing from AED103.9 billion in Q2 2024 and AED70.2 billion in Q2 2023. The average sale price also experienced a notable increase to AED2.97 million, while the price per sq ft rose to AED1,823, signaling strong confidence in the city’s long-term real estate value.
