Dubai Real Estate Sales Surpass AED 100 Billion, with a Ramadan Boost on the Horizon

Dubai’s real estate market continues to thrive, reaching AED 100 billion (US$27.2 billion) in sales this year, according to W Capital Brokerage. This milestone, achieved in just 44 business days as of March 4th, 2025, marks the fastest time the market has ever hit this level, surpassing last year’s record set on March 22, 2024.

Record-Breaking Growth in Dubai’s Real Estate Market

The Dubai real estate sector has been on an upward trajectory, with the same sales benchmark of AED 100 billion being reached on April 11 in 2023. This rapid growth highlights the sustained demand for property in the emirate and the confidence investors have in its long-term potential.

Walid Al Zarooni, CEO of W Capital, emphasized the ongoing strength of Dubai’s real estate market, stating:

"The succession of these record numbers confirms beyond doubt that the real estate sales boom in Dubai is ongoing and will not subside in the near future, which will make 2025 a new historic year for the real estate market in the emirate."

Dubai’s Booming Real Estate Sales in 2025

Dubai’s real estate sales recorded AED 94.8 billion (US$25.8 billion) in the first two months of 2025, with total real estate transactions reaching approximately AED 127.4 billion (US$34.7 billion). The strong momentum is expected to continue, further reinforcing Dubai’s position as a premier global investment destination.

Ramadan Sales Surge Expected

Ramadan has historically been a strong period for real estate sales in Dubai, with transaction volumes peaking at AED 36 billion (US$9.8 billion) last year and AED 30 billion (US$8.2 billion) the previous year. Al Zarooni anticipates a similar surge in 2025, as economic recovery efforts and investor confidence drive increased activity during the holy month.

Key Drivers of Growth in Dubai’s Real Estate Market

According to Al Zarooni, several factors have contributed to Dubai’s sustained real estate boom, including:

▪️Economic Recovery & Foreign Investment: Since 2020, Dubai has successfully attracted foreign investors through strategic economic recovery plans and enhanced residential offerings.

▪️Political, Security, and Economic Stability: The UAE’s stable environment continues to draw investors and high-net-worth individuals seeking secure and profitable opportunities.

▪️Competitive Global Positioning: Dubai’s real estate sector competes with and often surpasses major global markets in terms of returns, infrastructure, and investor confidence.

▪️Ideal Work, Investment, and Living Conditions: Dubai has positioned itself as a prime location for business, investment, and high-quality living, supported by a business-friendly environment and legal protections that ensure investor security.

Al Zarooni further highlighted Dubai’s state-of-the-art infrastructure, security, and safety measures as key factors that have contributed to its attractiveness for real estate investments.
