A new market analysis has revealed that Emaar generated the highest value of residential sales transactions in 2026 so far, recording Dh30.6 billion in sales—83.2 percent higher than second-placed DAMAC at Dh16.7 billion.
The figures, released by fäm Properties on July 23, 2026, highlight a market driven by demand at multiple price points rather than concentration in a single segment. The top ten developers collectively recorded 36,808 residential sales transactions worth Dh86.8 billion as of July 22.
Luxury homes continued to attract high-value buyers, with Emaar leading sales of properties priced above Dh15 million through 387 transactions worth Dh8.4 billion. Omniyat followed with 212 transactions valued at Dh6.5 billion, while H&H completed 178 deals worth Dh6.9 billion. In total, developers sold 1,248 luxury properties worth Dh35.16 billion during the period.
The fact that Dubai’s leading developers have been driving sales across both the luxury and affordable segments throughout the year is a clear sign of market strength.
Firas Al Msaddi, CEO of fäm Properties, said the figures reflect a diversified market supported by both investors and end-users.
At the affordable end of the market, Azizi emerged as the dominant player, recording 8,411 residential sales transactions overall—the highest among all developers—with more than 8,000 sales concentrated in properties priced below Dh2 million. Binghatti ranked second in the affordable segment with 4,268 transactions, followed by DAMAC with 2,247 deals.
The analysis also highlighted the scale of ongoing development activity. Emaar has delivered nine projects and 3,819 units this year, more than any other developer, and currently has 150 projects under construction, representing the largest pipeline in the market. DAMAC ranked second with seven completed projects, 2,591 delivered units and 113 projects under construction.
Meanwhile, Reportage has been the most active developer in launching new projects in 2026, introducing 16 developments to the market. The company also ranked among the top ten developers in both overall sales volume and affordable housing transactions.
The report suggests that Dubai’s property market continues to benefit from a combination of robust luxury demand and sustained activity in the affordable housing segment, supporting growth across a wide range of developers. This aligns with broader market trends showing stabilization in the second quarter of 2026 as the emirate’s real estate sector matures.
The strong performance across price segments reflects confidence among both international investors and end-users, particularly as foreign buyers remain active in Dubai’s residential market throughout 2026.
