In July 2026, Dubai’s real estate market continued to gain momentum, demonstrating both strong transaction activity and market resilience. According to official statistics from the Dubai Land Department (DLD), Dubai recorded a total of 18,732 real estate transactions during the month, including sales, mortgages, and gifts, with a combined transaction value of AED 56.1 billion (approximately USD 15.3 billion). This represents a significant 16.9% month-on-month increase from June, reflecting the market’s continued positive momentum.

1 Residential Sales Continue to Rise, Supported by Solid End-User Demand

Dubai’s core property sales market maintained steady growth in July. A total of 13,930 sales transactions were recorded, with a combined value of AED 34.88 billion. Sales value increased by 6.9% month on month, while the number of transactions edged up by 1.2%, reflecting steady growth in both transaction volume and value.

In terms of transaction categories, sales covered a diverse range of property types, including 12,331 residential and individual units, 746 building transactions, and 853 land transactions.

The stable transaction volume and continued increase in sales value further demonstrate the strength of genuine property demand in Dubai, reinforcing the market’s solid fundamentals and positive outlook.

2 Mortgage Transactions Surge 67%, Signaling Stronger Market Confidence

One of the most notable areas of growth in Dubai’s property market in July came from the mortgage segment, which recorded a substantial increase.

Dubai registered 4,036 mortgage transactions during the month, with a total value of AED 17.5 billion. Compared with AED 10.48 billion in June, mortgage transaction value surged by 67% month on month, while the number of mortgage transactions increased by 33.2%.

The sharp rise in mortgage activity sends several important market signals. On the one hand, local banks are becoming increasingly active in real estate financing, supported by a favorable credit environment. On the other hand, the increase reflects growing confidence among homebuyers and investors in the long-term value of Dubai real estate, strengthening their willingness to hold property assets over the medium to long term.

3 Luxury Market Remains Strong, Driven by Resilient High-Net-Worth Demand

Dubai’s luxury property market continued to perform strongly, setting new benchmarks for premium transaction values and remaining one of the key highlights of the city’s real estate sector.

The highest-value transaction in July was recorded at Aman Residences Dubai – Tower 2 in Jumeirah Second, where a 931-square-meter luxury apartment sold for AED 166.08 million (approximately USD 45.22 million).

Meanwhile, multiple high-end residential properties valued at more than AED 60 million were successfully transacted in prime locations including Palm Jumeirah and Jumeirah Second.

Luxury apartments dominated the month’s highest-value transaction rankings, highlighting the continued preference of global high-net-worth individuals for premium real estate in Dubai’s prime locations, as well as the sustained demand for allocating capital to high-quality property assets.

Overall, the data shows that Dubai’s real estate market continues to demonstrate diversified transaction activity, solid underlying demand, strong investor confidence, and notable resilience.

For homebuyers and investors, location advantages, product quality, payment plans, and a developer’s track record of delivery remain key criteria when assessing the long-term value of a property.
