Dubai's property sector registers approximately 4,000 transactions during the first half of 2025
In the first half of 2025, Dubai's property market registered a significant surge, with a total of 4,049 real estate activities taking place. This surge reflects Dubai's growing appeal to investors and a range of opportunities for property service providers.
The most common real estate activities in Dubai included high volumes of property transactions across residential, office, and hospitality segments, with a notable surge in off-plan property sales. These activities are driven by strong investor confidence, government incentives, digital reforms, and attractive payment plans by developers. Dubai recorded over 1.3 million real estate procedures and more than 125,000 transactions, totaling approximately $117 billion (AED 431 billion) in deals, marking a historic mid-year high.
Off-plan sales, properties purchased before completion, are a particularly significant driver. Benefiting from competitive pricing, flexible payment plans, and a robust regulatory framework including escrow accounts that protect buyers, key hotspots for activity include Dubai Marina, Business Bay, Al Barsha South Fourth, and Palm Jumeirah.
The Trakheesi system, an official platform of the Dubai Land Department for registering and activating core real estate services, plays a crucial role in facilitating these activities. This digital permit and licensing platform streamlines the process of obtaining permits and approvals for property-related activities, enhancing transparency and expediting approvals for developers, investors, and brokers.
Leasing brokerage had 1,279 activities, reflecting the extensive network of real estate brokers. Brokerage for property sales and purchases accounted for 2,301 registrations during the first half. Specific real estate licenses, such as property development, leasing and management of private and third-party properties, and the work of real estate service and promotion trustees, require prior approval from the Trakheesi system.
The initiatives align with the Dubai Real Estate Strategy 2033, which seeks to position Dubai as a global property hub. The department's integrated digital platform streamlined procedures, enabling clients to issue and renew activities with ease, as stated by WAM. The department's efforts to provide a flexible environment for investors and clients are reflected in the streamlined procedures on the integrated digital platform.
The strategy aims to maintain a safe, flexible business environment that supports sustainable growth and economic diversification. The increase in property activities is happening amid sustained population growth, ongoing infrastructure projects, and government-led efforts to modernize services and enhance regulations.
In summary, the Trakheesi system facilitates real estate activities by making approval and licensing processes faster and more transparent, thus supporting the unprecedented transaction volumes in Dubai's property market in early 2025. The initiatives are part of Dubai's commitment to the Dubai Real Estate Strategy 2033, which seeks to position Dubai as a global property hub.
