Dubai's real estate market recorded AED 21 billion in transactions over the past week, according to the Dubai Land Department, extending a sustained run of elevated weekly volumes that has seen recent weeks register AED 15.2 billion and AED 14.7 billion respectively.
The weekly figures build on a strong first quarter, with total transactions reaching AED 252 billion – up 31% year-on-year. Transaction volumes rose 6% over the period, while investments climbed 22% to AED 173 billion across 57,744 deals. The number of active investors grew 8 percent to 48,448, including more than 29,000 first-time market entrants.
The momentum follows a record 2025, in which Dubai logged more than 214,000 sales transactions worth AED 682.5 billion. Including mortgages and gift transfers, total value surpassed AED 900 billion for the year.
Sustained foreign investment, off-plan demand, luxury sales and long-term residency reforms continue to underpin the market's performance under the Dubai Economic Agenda D33.
