Key Highlights
Dubai Real Estate Market Performance in June 2026
Dubai’s real estate market recorded 13,766 sales transactions in June 2026, with a total sales value of AED 32.66 billion. Compared with May 2026, when the market recorded 10,483 sales worth AED 29.46 billion, sales volume increased by about 31.3% and sales value increased by about 10.9%.
The stronger rise in volume compared with value shows that the market was not driven only by a few large luxury deals. More buyers entered the market across a broader range of price points, especially in off-plan communities and high-volume apartment projects.
Total transaction activity also improved in volume. The market recorded 18,647 total transactions in June compared with 13,813 in May, representing a rise of about 35%. However, total transaction value moved from AED 51.81 billion in May to AED 48.07 billion in June. This lower total value mainly reflects changes in high-value mortgage, commercial and land transactions.
Off-plan sales remained the market’s leading segment. Dubai recorded 9,955 off-plan sales worth AED 17.12 billion. Ready property sales reached 3,811 transactions with a value of AED 15.53 billion. Off-plan represented 72.3% of sales by volume, while ready properties represented 27.7%.

Dubai Real Estate Market Outlook
June 2026 marked a strong recovery phase for Dubai’s real estate market. Sales volume rose sharply compared with May, off-plan demand remained dominant and the luxury market continued to record high-value transactions.
The data shows that Dubai’s market is not relying on one single buyer segment. Activity remained strong across affordable off-plan apartments, mid-market family homes, waterfront projects, branded residences, land sales and commercial assets. This wide base of demand supports market stability.
Looking ahead, the market is expected to remain active through the second half of 2026. Off-plan communities are likely to keep leading sales volume because developers continue to offer new launches, flexible payment plans and competitive entry prices. Ready properties may also remain attractive for end users and investors who want immediate rental income.
Prime and ultra-prime properties should continue to perform well, especially in areas linked to waterfront living, branded hospitality and limited-supply luxury residences. Business Bay, Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Islands, MBR District 1 and Dubai South are expected to remain key areas to watch.
Sales volume rose 31.3% month-on-month, showing renewed buyer activity after May’s moderation.
Off-plan sales represented about 72.3% of total sales volume, supported by new launches and payment plans.
A AED 200 million apartment sale at Bugatti Residences showed the depth of Dubai’s branded residence market.
Madinat Al Mataar led sales volume, reflecting buyer interest in airport-linked growth corridors.
