Dubai Property Sales Value Comparison: 2025 vs. 2024

Here is a comparison between the total property sales value in Dubai for 2025 vs. 2024 (or latest full-year data) based on recent published data.

Key numbers: 2024 vs 2025

2024 (full year): AED 522.1 billion
2025 (by end October): AED 559.4 billion

According to a recent report from fäm Properties, by the end of October 2025, total sales had reached AED 559.4 billion — already surpassing the full-year 2024 total of AED 522.1 billion.

This suggests 2025 is likely to close as the highest-ever year for property sales in Dubai, assuming continued activity in November–December.

Growth rate and mid-year comparison

In the first half of 2025, the total value of real estate transactions reached AED 431 billion — representing a ~25% increase compared to the first half of 2024.

By the first 9 months of 2025, sales value reportedly hit ~AED 498.8 billion — about 32.3% higher than during the same period in 2024.

What’s driving the increase

Several factors behind the jump from 2024 → 2025:

Continued strong demand from both local and international buyers.

Significant activity across apartments, plots, and commercial properties — not only luxury villas — broadening the volume of transactions.

Price appreciation: average property price per square foot continues to rise, which increases overall value even if volume growth stabilizes.

What to keep in mind — caveats & nuance

The 2025 figure (AED 559.4 billion) is as of end-October — final full-year 2025 number will likely be higher when transactions in November and December are included.

“Total transactions” sometimes mix different types — including off-plan, ready-market, commercial, plots, mortgages — so “sales value” isn’t only residential apartments/villas.

Differences in methodology: some reports cite “real estate sector transactions” (sales + mortgages + other real-estate procedures) while others focus strictly on “property sales.” That affects comparability.

What this means for you (as a real-estate agent & investor-advisor)

Momentum strong — 2025 is shaping up as the most active, highest-value year on record in Dubai real estate. This underlines strong investor demand and liquidity.

Leverage opportunity for investors/clients — Rising value and demand means good potential for capital appreciation, especially in in-demand segments (apartments, plots, etc.).

Timing matters — Given strong 2025 performance, your existing off-plan or ready-sale inventory could benefit from continuing momentum, but consider rising entry prices.
