Dubai Records AED 45.79 Billion in November Transactions as Off-Plan Market Leads Activity
GPG Global Real Estate Market Insights — November 2025
Dubai’s real estate sector continues its strong upward trajectory, closing November 2025 with an impressive AED 45.79 billion ($12.47 billion) in transactions across 17,777 deals, according to the latest data. The month outperformed October, reaffirming Dubai’s position as one of the world’s fastest-growing property markets.
At GPG Global Real Estate, we have witnessed this momentum firsthand, with continuous demand from both local and international investors—especially across new launches and mid-market developments.
Off-Plan Market Drives Growth
The off-plan sector remained the backbone of November’s performance, accounting for 71.64% of all transactions. The surge was fuelled by:
- Attractive payment plans
- Developer-backed incentives
- Increasing confidence among first-time buyers and global investors
- Strong ROI expectations in emerging communities
The ready market also performed steadily, recording 5,042 transactions, particularly in established neighbourhoods with immediate occupancy options.
Top Performing Communities in November
A few districts stood out due to affordability, rental potential, and strong infrastructure:
- Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC): 1,330 sales
- Dubai South: 896
- Business Bay: 857
- Dubai Maritime City: 744
- Dubai Residence Complex: 709
These areas continue to attract investors looking for stable rental yields and long-term capital appreciation.
Mid-Market Homes Dominate Buyer Demand
Dubai’s mid-market segment once again led buyer interest:
- 54.44% of all deals were for homes priced between AED 1M and AED 3M
- 25.10% of transactions were for properties under AED 1M
- Homes above AED 3M continued to show strong uptake, especially in villa and waterfront communities
This balance across price segments highlights Dubai’s unique ability to cater to both first-time buyers and high-net-worth investors.
Commercial Real Estate: AED 18.44 Billion in Activity
Commercial real estate continued its strong 2025 trend with 1,197 transactions worth AED 18.44 billion ($5B).
Key commercial hubs driving activity included:
- DIFC
- Business Bay
- One Central
- Jebel Ali & Dubai South (industrial and warehousing)
Demand from multinational companies, startups, and e-commerce operators remains exceptionally high.
Rental Market: Over 43,893 Leases in November
The rental sector saw 43,893 new leases with a combined value of AED 3.9 billion ($1.06B).
Top rental communities included:
- Al Barari
- MBR City
- JVC
- Dubai Hills Estate
- Arjan
Tenants continue to gravitate toward family-centric communities with strong amenities and connectivity.
GPG’s Market Outlook for 2026

- Strong mid-market absorption
- Increasing global investor participation
