This comprehensive report compiles verified transaction data, pricing trends, leasing insights, prime market performance, and future supply outlook, giving investors, developers, landlords, and end-users the clarity they need in a dynamic market.


In a quarter shaped by composure rather than acceleration, Dubai's residential sector demonstrated remarkable resilience: transaction volumes moderated quarter-on-quarter, yet total transaction value held firm, reflecting a market that is shifting up the price stack rather than slowing down. Prime activity expanded sharply, off-plan demand remained anchored in genuine new capital, and the leasing market continued to deepen with long-term residency at its core.
