The Dubai real estate market recorded AED45.79bn ($12.47bn) in transactions across 17,777 deals in November 2025, according to the latest report from Springfield Properties.
The month delivered a notable rise in activity compared with October, supported by sustained demand from residents and investors across both off-plan and ready property segments.
Off-plan sales remained the dominant driver of market performance, accounting for 71.64 per cent of all transactions, bolstered by new project launches and flexible payment plans.
The secondary market registered 5,042 transactions, underscoring continued appetite for established communities with ready homes.
Top-performing communities
- Jumeirah Village Circle: 1,330 sales
- Dubai South: 896
- Business Bay: 857
- Dubai Maritime City: 744
- Dubai Residence Complex: 709
These communities benefited from a combination of mid-market affordability, ongoing development and strong rental demand.
Farooq Syed, CEO of Springfield Properties, said: “Reaching AED45.79bn in November highlights a stable month for Dubai’s real estate sector. The increase from October reflects steady activity from both end-users and investors. Buyers continue to move with confidence, supported by clear regulations, long-term visa options, and ongoing development across the city”.
Mid-market homes dominate
Properties priced between AED1m ($272,300) and AED3m ($816,900) accounted for 54.44 per cent of all deals, confirming the strength of Dubai’s mid-market segment.
Other price segments showed robust performance:
- Homes under AED1m ($272,300): 25.10 per cent of transactions
- Homes above AED 3m ($816,900): Continued strong demand, especially in villa and waterfront communities
Commercial real estate in Dubai
The commercial segment recorded 1,197 transactions worth AED18.44bn ($5bn). Activity was concentrated in strategic business districts including:
- DIFC
- Business Bay
- One Central
Warehousing and industrial units in Jebel Ali and Dubai South also performed well due to sustained demand from logistics and e-commerce firms.
Syed said: “The data shows steady, consistent activity across all major segments. Buyers are choosing communities with strong infrastructure, and developers are bringing forward projects that match current demand. This balance supports confidence in the market as Dubai continues to grow”.
Dubai recorded 43,893 rental leases in November, with a total rental value of AED3.9bn ($1.06bn). Popular districts included:
- Al Barari
- MBR City
- JVC
