Dubai’s real estate market has reached AED 100 billion ($27.2 billion) in sales at an unprecedented pace this year, according to W Capital brokerage. The milestone was achieved on March 4, marking the fastest time on record—just 44 working days—compared to March 22 in 2024 and April 11 in 2023, based on Dubai Land Department (DLD) data.

W Capital CEO, Walid Al Zarooni, emphasized that this surge in real estate sales confirms the ongoing boom in Dubai’s property sector, predicting that 2025 will be another record-breaking year. In the first two months of 2025 alone, sales reached AED 94.8 billion ($25.8 billion) across more than 30,000 transactions, reflecting a 32% year-on-year increase. Total real estate transactions during the same period amounted to approximately AED 127.4 billion ($34.7 billion).

Al Zarooni projected that real estate sales during Ramadan would set new records, following last year’s AED 36 billion ($9.8 billion) in transactions and AED 30 billion ($8.2 billion) the year prior. He attributed this growth momentum to Dubai’s economic recovery and successful strategies in attracting foreign investors through residency incentives and business-friendly policies.

Several internal factors have reinforced this growth, including the UAE’s political, economic, and security stability. Al Zarooni noted that Dubai’s real estate market continues to see sustainable expansion, competing with—and even surpassing—major global markets. The city has solidified its reputation as the preferred real estate destination for high-net-worth individuals and investors worldwide.

Dubai’s ability to offer an ideal environment for work, investment, and living has made it a top choice for real estate investors. Al Zarooni highlighted that strong investor confidence is supported by favorable legislation, world-class infrastructure, and a high level of security and safety, all of which contribute to the city’s growing real estate appeal.
