The dynamic real estate market of Dubai saw a phenomenal volume of transactions last week. Based on reports released by the Dubai Land Department, between March 17 and 21, the value of transactions amounted to AED 17.28 billion (USD 4.7 billion approximately), reflecting the sustained upward trajectory and the overall strength of the market. These transactions within this period totaled 3,886 for commercial and residential property sales. The figure testifies to superb activity and huge demand in various sectors of the real estate scene of Dubai.

Highlight Transactions of the Week:

Among the numerous transactions, there were some few high-value luxury real estate transactions that stood out, particularly within the upscale Palm Jumeirah area:

  • The most expensive transaction of the week was a sale of stunning apartment in AVA project by Omniyat within Palm Jumeirah for AED 73.4 million (some USD 20 million).
  • two other units at the luxury Alba Residences—another Omniyat project on Palm Jumeirah—were purchased for AED 50.86 million (around USD 13.8 million) and AED 49.48 million (around USD 13.5 million), respectively. These sales indicate the strong demand for ultra-luxury homes in this prestige island location.

Other than transactions of direct sales, activity was also seen in other sectors in the market. Mortgage values transacted in the week amounted to AED 3.52 billion (approximately USD 958.4 million), and gift (hibah) transactions—gifted transfer of property—amounted to AED 850.6 million (approximately USD 231.7 million).

These overall figures from Dubai’s real estate market, particularly the high-value and significant volume of transactions, reaffirm Dubai’s position as one of the world’s most attractive and high-yielding property markets. They also indicate sustained investor confidence both domestic and international in the city’s real estate future.
