Dubai Completed $1.2 Billion Worth of Property Projects in First Half of 2025
Dubai finished 24 real estate projects worth $1.2 billion (AED 4.5 billion) in the first half of 2025. This shows the city’s property market is still growing fast, according to the Dubai Land Department (DLD), as reported by Emirates News Agency (WAM).
Strong Real Estate Growth
Dubai’s property market continues to grow quickly. Right now, 726 real estate projects are under construction across the city, showing strong interest from both developers and investors.
Between January and June 2025, developers added 90,337 new real estate units. These homes are being built to meet rising demand for ready-to-move, eco-friendly housing with modern amenities.
During the same time, 75,347 real estate units were sold for a total of $41.1 billion (AED 151 billion). This shows that buyers still have strong confidence in Dubai’s real estate market.
Villa sales were especially good, with 7,167 villas sold for over $7.6 billion (AED 28 billion).
The rental market also stayed strong. In the first half of 2025, 465,738 lease contracts were registered, with a total value of $11.4 billion (AED 42 billion)—a 5% increase from the same time in 2024.
Easier Path to Buying a Home
In July, Dubai introduced the First-Time Home Buyer Program, created by the Dubai Land Department and the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism. It’s designed to help more Emiratis and expats buy their first home.
The program gives buyers early access to new projects, better prices, and special mortgage deals. It supports the Dubai Real Estate Strategy 2033, which aims to increase homeownership and boost the property sector’s role in the UAE economy.
Big developers like Emaar, DAMAC, and Nakheel are offering early deals on off-plan homes priced up to $1.4 million (AED 5 million). Banks including Emirates NBD, Dubai Islamic Bank, and Mashreq are offering custom mortgage plans for first-time buyers.
