Dubai real estate: record first half of 2025 with over 125,000 transactions
Dubai's real estate market continues to break records, confirming its status as a must-see global destination for investors. According to the latest figures from the Dubai Land Department, the city recorded 125,538 real estate transactions in the first half of 2025, an impressive 26% increase on 2024.
The total value of these transactions reached AED 431 billion (around €108 billion), an all-time high that reflects not only Dubai's appeal to international investors, but also the growing confidence of local residents.
🔹 Women invest massively
One highlight: female investors accounted for a significant proportion of acquisitions, with over AED 73 billion invested. This figure illustrates the growing role of women in the emirate's economic dynamic.
🔹 A new generation of investors
Another trend is the arrival of new buyers entering the Dubai market for the first time. Real estate is no longer confined to the world's wealthiest individuals: it is also attracting entrepreneurs, expatriate executives and upper-middle-class investors, seduced by high rental yields (6-10% net) and advantageous taxation (0% income and wealth tax).
🔹 Dubai: a global hub undergoing consolidation
With these record figures, Dubai confirms its strategy of becoming a global financial and real estate center, at the crossroads of capital flows from Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Each transaction reinforces the city's position as a safe haven for real estate investors in an uncertain global environment.
👉 Conclusion: Dubai real estate is not just growing, it's establishing itself as a global benchmark, where stability, innovation and wealth opportunities meet.
