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.
“These numbers are more than just market growth; they represent a shift in how the world views Dubai real estate,” said Laura Adams, secondary sales director at Provident Estate and the author of the report. “Buyers are not just investing in properties; they’re investing in a lifestyle, in security, in the future of one of the fastest-growing cities globally.”
