Dubai Property Sales Surge to $14 Billion in July Amid Off-Plan Boom and Rising Rents

Strong investor demand and influx of new tenants drive market momentum, with top developers leading record-breaking month

Dubai’s residential real estate sector maintained its strong upward momentum in July 2025, recording an impressive $14 billion in property sales, according to analysis by Betterhomes. The surge was fueled by heightened off-plan demand, competitive developer launches, and a steady increase in rental activity.

Betterhomes’ report highlighted that both the sales and leasing markets saw significant gains, reflecting Dubai’s growing appeal as a global investment destination. The influx of new tenants, drawn by the city’s expanding economic opportunities and vibrant lifestyle, added further strength to the market.

Experts point to Dubai’s strategic positioning as a safe haven for capital, alongside attractive returns and progressive real estate regulations, as key factors behind the continued growth. “Dubai remains a standout choice for investors seeking robust returns in a dynamic global market,” Betterhomes noted.

The report also spotlighted top-performing developers who played a pivotal role in shaping July’s record sales figures. Their innovative projects, coupled with flexible payment plans, attracted both local and international buyers.

With the off-plan segment continuing to dominate transaction volumes, industry analysts anticipate the upward trend will persist in the coming months, particularly as major developments near completion and rental yields remain strong.

Dubai’s property market, already one of the most resilient globally, appears set to sustain this momentum well into 2026, supported by investor confidence, population growth, and an ever-expanding pipeline of premium real estate offerings.
