Dubai's residential market reached record levels again in Q3 2025, supported by population growth (over four million), strong UAE GDP growth (4.9%), and an influx of high net worth individuals. The tax-free ecosystem, ease of securing mortgages, and lower cost of prime ownership versus other global cities are driving a clear shift toward homeownership among expatriates and continued appeal for investors. Savills ranked Dubai as the top global city for attracting and developing individual wealth, with the Golden Visa and quality of life reinforcing long-term demand.
Q3 2025 maintained residential transaction volumes over 50,000 for a second consecutive quarter. Average quarterly volumes have risen from circa 22,750 in 2022 to 31,200 in 2023, 43,500 in 2024 and 49,500 year-to-date in 2025. Apartments dominated with 86% of all transactions. Off-plan sales represented 69% of all deals in Q3 2025, with nearly 37,000 off-plan transactions. The ready market remained stable with over 16,500 transactions in the quarter.
