Dubai hit a staggering US $117 billion (AED 431 billion) in real estate transactions in the first half of 2025, driven by visa reforms and incentives for foreign investors. This is a new all-time record for Dubai surpassing all previous first-half records, and marking a 25% increase year-on-year.
This beat the pre-2025 peak of AED 411 billion for all of 2023, indicating the scale of the growth.
With over 73,000 new homes scheduled to launch this year, the city is on track to deliver more than 300,000 residential units by 2028.
