UAE Property Sales Reach Record Highs Q3 2025

The UAE’s real estate sector achieved record-breaking performance in the third quarter of 2025, reflecting robust investor confidence and continued structural demand. Both Abu Dhabi and Dubai witnessed major growth, driven by expanding master communities and consistent off-plan demand.

Abu Dhabi’s Record-Breaking Surge

According to Property Finder, Abu Dhabi registered 7,154 property sales worth Dh25.3 billion — up 110% year-on-year. Residential properties accounted for 96% of all deals, totaling Dh23.3 billion. The off-plan segment made up 73% of sales and 68% of overall value, surging 136% to Dh17.3 billion.

Projects on Fahid Island and Al Hidayriyyat Island were key contributors, representing over 30% of total off-plan value. Duplex sales rose an astonishing 424%, while apartments and villas also recorded significant growth. The ready market performed strongly as well, increasing by 71% in value to Dh8 billion.

Dubai Maintains Global Momentum

Dubai reached its highest-ever quarterly total, with 40,108 property trades — a 26% increase over 2024. Off-plan transactions made up 68% of activity, totaling Dh82.9 billion, while ready properties accounted for Dh86.1 billion, up 16%.

Leading markets included Business Bay, Al Barsha, and Dubai Islands, with Business Bay alone exceeding Dh7.4 billion in sales. Waterfront areas such as Palm Jumeirah and Dubai Marina contributed over Dh6 billion combined.

Record Prices Reflect Confidence

Average prices hit new highs, surpassing Dh1,667 per square foot in some districts. The UAE continues to position itself as a global real estate hub defined by resilience, stability, and long-term growth potential.
