Compared with June, this represented growth of 13.8% in transaction numbers and 16.9% in recorded value. DLD’s ready classification includes land, so these figures cover more than completed homes.

Across all property types, Dubai recorded 13,614 freehold sales worth AED 32.74 billion in July. June recorded 13,445 sales worth AED 31.51 billion, meaning July’s transaction volume increased 1.3% and value rose 3.9%. July’s sales count was also 40.3% above May’s level.

Commercial property recorded 686 sales worth AED 5.76 billion, while land and other property accounted for 533 sales worth AED 6.55 billion.

July’s figures show modest overall growth, supported by stronger ready-property activity. Performance varied across locations and projects, making property-level comparisons important. These registration figures measure sales activity and recorded consideration; they do not establish changes in buyer confidence or the appreciation of individual properties.
