Dubai Real Estate Weekly Market Analysis 24-Nov-2025

The total real estate transactions in Dubai for Week 47 was AED 11.48 billion and 5,284 transactions. Off plan contributed 67.7% or 7.78 billion, while Ready properties contributed 32.3% or 3.71 billion. Total trading in Week 47 reached AED 11.48 billion across 5,284 registered transactions, up from AED 11.19 billion and 5,160 deals last week. Off plan continued to dominate with AED 7.78 billion (67.7% of weekly value), while ready accounted for AED 3.71 billion (32.3%). Category Off-Plan (AED mn) Ready (AED mn) Flat 6,683.7 2,453.5 Villa 861.1 759.8 Hotel Apt. & Rooms 21.7 135.1 Commercials 210.3 359.1 Total 7,776.9 3,707.5 Off-Plan Market Performance Total Value: AED 7.78 billion Share of Weekly Total: 67.7% Off-plan activity remains overwhelmingly flat-led, with apartments capturing nearly nine out of every ten dirhams spent in the segment, while villas add a meaningful but much smaller share. Top Performing Off-Plan Areas Area Value (AED mn) % of Off-Plan Madinat Al Mataar 783.9 10.1% Palm Deira 600.3 7.7% Jumeirah First 593.7 7.6% Business Bay 455.4 5.9% Dubai Maritime City 399.3 5.1% More than half of all off-plan value (53.8%) is concentrated in these ten locations, with Madinat Al Mataar, Palm Deira (Deira Islands) and Jumeirah First emerging as the key off-plan hotspots of the week. Ready Market Performance Total Value: AED 3.71 billion, representing 32.3% of the week’s traded value. Share of Weekly Total: 32.3% The ready segment is also flat-driven, but with a more balanced profile: villas, hospitality assets and commercial properties together account for roughly one-third of ready activity, reflecting healthy end-user and income-focused demand. Top Performing Ready Areas Area Value (AED mn) % of Ready Burj Khalifa 459.7 12.4% Palm Jumeirah 338.0 9.1% Business Bay 282.3 7.6% Dubai Marina 230.7 6.2% Jumeirah Village Circle 179.0 4.8% Just over half of ready activity (54.6%) is captured by these prime and established locations, with Burj Khalifa, Palm Jumeirah, Business Bay and Dubai Marina reinforcing their position as the core of Dubai’s ready resale and handover market. On the Micro Level Below is the sales distribution based on the number of bedrooms Weekly Comparison Metric Week 46 Week 47 Change Total Volume (AED billions) 11.19 11.48 +2.6% Number of transactions 5,160 5,284 +2.4% Market Insights & Outlook Week 47 delivered a moderate but broad-based uplift in both value and volume, with off-plan inching its share higher and remaining the primary driver of liquidity. The concentration of new off-plan value in emerging areas such as Madinat Al Mataar and Palm Deira (Deira Islands), alongside sustained ready demand in Downtown, Palm Jumeirah, Business Bay and Dubai Marina, suggests a market that is expanding geographically while still anchored by core prime districts. If this pattern continues, Dubai is likely to see ongoing depth in prime ready resales alongside multi-cycle opportunities in new master-planned areas, keeping both investors and end-users active across the spectrum in the coming weeks.

Ready Market Performance Total Value: AED 675,602,822 (36.7% of daily total) The Ready segment continues to cater to end-users and yield-focused investors who prioritise immediate occupancy and cash flow, with villas and commercial assets adding depth to the day’s activity. On The Micro Level Market Insights & Outlook Today’s figures reinforce a familiar pattern in Dubai’s current cycle: off plan remains the primary engine of value, driven largely by flats, while Ready stock provides a solid secondary pillar for those seeking immediate use or rental income. The strong skew toward off plan suggests continued confidence in future supply, ongoing developer launch momentum, and a market that is still very much in expansion mode rather than consolidation.

Strategically positioned between Port Rashid and Drydocks World, this 2.3 million square meter master-planned community is experiencing remarkable capital appreciation, with current prices averaging AED 2,350-3,500 per square foot—significantly below established premium waterfront areas while delivering comparable quality and amenities. Figure 1: Aerial view of Dubai Maritime City showcasing waterfront development with marina, residential towers, and Downtown Dubai skyline The development has demonstrated exceptional price appreciation, growing from initial launch prices of AED 1,200-1,600 per sq ft to current levels representing a 192% increase [1]. Industry forecasts project prices reaching AED 8,000-10,000 per sq ft for luxury towers by 2027-2028, offering substantial upside for early investors [2]. With rental yields ranging from 6% to 8.5% [3], strong infrastructure backing including the upcoming metro connection, and a diverse portfolio of projects from leading developers (DAMAC, Omniyat, Danube, Beyond Developments), Dubai Maritime City presents a balanced opportunity for both capital appreciation-focused investors and yield-seeking end-users.

Ready Market Performance Total Value: AED 785,669,795 Within the ready segment, flats also led activity with two-thirds of value, supported by solid villa demand and a notable 12% share from ready commercial properties, underscoring continued appetite for income-generating stock. On The Micro Level Market Insights & Outlook The day’s figures reaffirm Dubai’s off-plan leadership, with roughly two-thirds of all value flowing into projects still under development, led overwhelmingly by apartments. Ready assets, however, continue to provide a substantial one-third of liquidity, especially in mid- to upper-tier flats and select commercial properties. This balance between new launches and completed stock points to a market where both investors and end-users are actively repositioning, locking in future supply while still competing for quality, income-ready homes today.
