Dubai real estate market

Dubai’s off-plan apartment market recorded its strongest monthly performance of the year in April, with sales reaching Dhs19.7 billion, according to data from Al Masdar Al Aqaari based on figures from the Dubai Land Department.

Monthly sales rise

The total came from 8,812 transactions, higher than March’s Dhs18 billion from 8,152 deals. It also exceeded February’s Dhs19.1 billion and January’s Dhs19.4 billion.

On a yearly basis, April sales were up 4.2 per cent compared to Dhs18.9 billion recorded in April 2025, although transaction volumes were slightly lower than the 9,283 deals registered during the same month last year.

Top areas

Dubai Islands remained the leading location for off-plan apartment sales for the fourth month in a row. The area recorded Dhs2.6 billion from 691 transactions in April. Since January, it has generated more than Dhs7.9 billion across 2,335 deals.

Al Khairan First ranked second with Dhs1.5 billion from 507 transactions, followed by Madinat Al Mataar, which recorded Dhs1.4 billion across 899 deals.

High-value deals

April also saw two off-plan apartment transactions exceeding Dhs100 million. A unit at Aman Residences Dubai sold for Dhs171 million, with an area of about 10,000 square feet.

Another apartment at Baccarat Hotel & Residences Dubai was sold for Dhs121.8 million, covering 13,250 square feet.

The data reflects continued demand for off-plan residential properties in Dubai, supported by steady project launches and investor interest.
