Dubai, United Arab Emirates: Dubai’s real estate market hit a new record high in October, with the total value of property sales for 2025 rising to AED 559.4 billion, surpassing the previous record set for a full year .

This confirms that 2025 will be another historic year for Dubai’s real estate market, following the previous record set for a full year in 2024, which amounted to 180,900 transactions worth AED 522.1 billion .

Data from DXB interact showed that apartment sales led sales in October in terms of both value and volume, with 16,238 transactions worth AED 31 billion, a 3.4% year-on-year increase in volume .

While villa sales fell by 36.8% in volume to 2,549 villas, valued at AED 15.5 billion, compared to October of last year, land purchases increased, with 399 plots sold for AED 11 billion, a 23.9% year-on-year increase .

In this context, Firas Al-Masdi, CEO of " fäm Real Estate", said: "There is no doubt that the real estate market is very strong in general, and globally, Dubai remains one of the best real estate markets to invest in, whether for the end user or the investor ."

" But this does not mean that every developer will succeed just because the market is booming. Nor does it mean that investors can make hasty or ill-considered decisions and expect to succeed. The only way to achieve consistent success is to make informed, data-driven decisions, whether you are an individual investor or an institution ."

" Fortunately, the Dubai Land Department has made this easier than ever before. It has created one of the most transparent real estate ecosystems in the world, where all sales and rental transactions are available to the public ."

“ And he added: “Today, DXBinteract provides full access to this data, enabling anyone to analyze, compare, and verify opportunities based on facts, not assumptions. In short, this market will severely reward those who put in the effort to research and analyze, and will punish those who ignore it .”
