Dubai’s property market continues its unprecedented growth trajectory in 2025, establishing new benchmarks for global real estate performance. Transaction volumes have soared beyond 158,000 deals year-to-date, representing a staggering Dh498.8 billion ($136 billion) in total value. This constitutes a remarkable 32% increase in monetary value and 20% growth in transaction volume compared to the previous year.
The third quarter alone witnessed exceptional performance with 59,000 sales totaling Dh170.7 billion, marking the highest quarterly achievement in the market’s history. Property values maintain their upward momentum with a 10% year-on-year increase across residential segments. Villas continue to outperform apartments due to sustained supply limitations and robust end-user demand, particularly in premium communities where values have appreciated between 15-30%.
Simultaneously, Dubai’s rental market shows signs of stabilization following two years of substantial increases. With average annual rents approaching Dh99,000, affordability concerns are driving more tenants toward property ownership. Recent surveys indicate 55% of current renters plan to purchase properties within three years, a significant increase from 25% last year.
The market expansion has prompted major development initiatives, including the recent launch of Arthouse Hills Arjan. This represents the second Arthouse-branded residential project in Dubai, bringing New York-inspired design aesthetics to one of the city’s fastest-growing communities. The development positions itself as one of Arjan’s tallest and most amenity-rich towers, emphasizing wellness-oriented and culturally inspired living experiences.
Industry leaders emphasize the project’s significance in elevating community standards. Omar Gull, Founder & Chairman of Cledor, stated: “Arthouse Hills Arjan establishes new benchmarks for design-led, amenity-rich living in emerging Dubai communities.”
Concurrently, Abu Dhabi’s real estate sector demonstrates parallel progress. Burtvile Developments’ Bab Al Qasr Canal View Residence 22 project at Al Raha Beach has reached 7% completion, exceeding scheduled progress by 6.21%. The development featuring 242 residential units across three towers continues to attract both residents and investors seeking premium living options in the capital’s desirable communities.
