Dubai’s real estate market has continued its strong start to 2025, with property sales in February totalling AED 51.1 billion, a 39.91% increase in value on the same month last year.

A market update issued today by fäm Properties reveals that last month’s total of 16,099 transactions also represented a 35.5% increase in volume over February 2024, making it one of the best ever months on record.

Data from DXBinteract shows that villa sales totalling AED18.8 billion climbed dramatically

Apartment sales worth AED21.4 billion climbed 21.3% in volume to 11,364, while a total of 447 commercial property transactions amounting to AED1.2 billion represented a 40.1% increase in volume over February 2024. The average price per sq. ft was up by 3.4% to AED 1,551.

“The data once again highlights the robust nature of Dubai’s real estate market and the steady growth it has experienced over the past few years,” said Firas Al Msaddi, CEO of fäm Properties.

“This reinforces Dubai’s position as a safe and reliable hub for real estate investment, further boosting investor trust and attracting attention from local, regional, and global markets.”
