Dubai Real Estate Hits $12.47bn in November 2025 as Off-Plan Sales Lead Market Activity
Interested in Dubai’s latest market trends? Here’s a clear look at what drove November’s strong performance and why demand remains steady across key communities.
A Strong Month Driven by Off-Plan & Mid-Market Demand
Dubai’s real estate sector recorded AED45.79bn ($12.47bn) across 17,777 transactions in November 2025, according to new data from Springfield Properties. The month showed a noticeable increase in activity compared to October, supported by both residents and investors who continue to participate actively in the market.
The momentum reflects ongoing confidence in Dubai’s property landscape, supported by long-term residency pathways, clear regulations and steady population growth.
Off-Plan Sales Take the Lead
Off-plan activity remained the strongest driver, representing 71.64 percent of all transactions. Developers launched new projects across well-connected districts, supported by flexible payment plans that appeal to a wide range of buyers.
This demand highlights how off-plan properties remain a preferred choice for those seeking long-term value in an expanding city.
Ready Homes Still Attract Steady Interest
While off-plan dominated the numbers, the secondary market also held firm. A total of 5,042 ready home transactions were recorded in November, reflecting consistent demand in established communities and completed developments.
Buyers looking for immediate move-in options or rental income opportunities continue to target mature neighborhoods with strong infrastructure and ongoing activity.
