  • Dubai Property Market Shows Strength Across All Price Segments in 2026

    Dubai Property Market Shows Strength Across All Price Segments in 2026

    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.

  • Dubai Off-Plan Sales Drive $10.18 Billion Residential Market in April

    Dubai Off-Plan Sales Drive $10.18 Billion Residential Market in April

    Dubai’s residential sector maintained stable activity levels through April despite a more measured global investment environment, with transaction values increasing 0.46% compared to March 2026.

    Off-Plan Segment Accounts for AED28.55 Billion

    Off-plan activity remained the primary driver of market performance during the month, recording 9,990 transactions worth AED28.55 billion and representing 76.39% of total transaction value. The segment continues to benefit from demand for newly launched communities, phased payment structures, and infrastructure-led residential development.

    Dubai’s market performance through April once again reinforced the strength of the city’s long-term fundamentals. Despite broader geopolitical uncertainty, liquidity remained healthy, transaction activity held steady and investor participation across key residential corridors continued to reflect confidence in Dubai’s long-term growth trajectory.

    Farooq Syed, CEO of Springfield Properties, emphasized sustained confidence despite regional challenges.

    Secondary Market Records 3,072 Transactions

    Dubai’s secondary real estate market contributed AED8.83 billion across 3,072 transactions, with activity concentrated in established residential communities supported by end-user demand and long-term ownership confidence.

    Residential activity remained concentrated across several key master-planned communities. Dubai South recorded the highest transaction volume with 1,140 deals, followed by Jumeirah Village Circle with 797 transactions and Dubai Islands with 693 transactions. DAMAC Lagoons and Dubai Creek Harbour also maintained healthy activity levels.

    Pricing Holds Firm Across Segments

    Residential pricing remained broadly firm during April. Off-plan apartments averaged AED2,111 per square foot, while off-plan villas reached AED2,293 per square foot. Secondary villas maintained premium positioning at AED2,406 per square foot, reflecting sustained demand for completed family-oriented communities.

    Properties priced between AED1 million and AED3 million represented 53.62% of transactions with recorded sale values, while higher-value segments above AED5 million maintained stable activity levels.

    Commercial Sector Records AED10.35 Billion

    Beyond residential, Dubai’s commercial real estate market recorded AED10.35 billion across 963 transactions during April. Office transactions alone accounted for AED3.34 billion across 428 deals, reinforcing occupier and investor demand across established business districts and mixed-use commercial corridors.

    The report noted that recent updates to Dubai’s property-linked residency requirements are expected to support broader market participation over the medium term, particularly across affordable and mid-market residential segments.

    Dubai continues to strengthen its position as a global destination for capital, business and long-term residency. What differentiates the market today is not only resilience, but also the consistency of the city’s long-term vision, infrastructure investment, regulatory clarity and ability to sustain confidence through changing global conditions.

    Syed concluded that activity levels are expected to remain supported by population growth, strategic development, and sustained international demand across both residential and commercial sectors as market conditions continue to stabilize.

    The April figures align with broader market trends documented across the first quarter of 2026, when Dubai’s property sales exceeded Dh180 billion, reinforcing the emirate’s position as a global real estate destination.
