The Dubai real estate market has demonstrated remarkable growth in 2025, with sales rising across both the luxury and affordable segments. This surge in activity is driven by leading developers contributing significantly to transaction volumes and overall market values, indicating a thriving environment for investors and homebuyers alike.
In an encouraging display of market resilience, both segments experienced significant sales, with properties priced above AED15 million ($4.1 million) and those below AED2 million ($544,588) reporting robust performance this year.
Analysis from fäm Properties indicates that Emaar has solidified its position as a market leader in terms of sales value, project deliveries, and new launches. The collected data underscores that Emaar achieved an impressive AED65.8 billion ($17.92 billion) in sales throughout 2025, followed by DAMAC Properties, which generated AED35.9 billion ($9.78 billion), and Binghatti, with sales reaching AED26 billion ($7.1 billion).
Moreover, Emaar concluded the year with a commanding lead in construction, boasting 51,032 homes under development. The developer successfully delivered 27 projects, comprising 7,318 units, and introduced 54 new projects to the market.
Binghatti, demonstrating significant growth, climbed four places to secure its position as the top developer by total sales volume in Dubai. The firm completed 17,061 transactions in 2025, outperforming DAMAC Properties, which recorded 15,393 deals, and Emaar, with 13,149 sales.

In the ultra-luxury segment of the market, properties priced above AED15 million ($4.1 million) witnessed exceptional sales activity. Nakheel led this segment with an impressive AED16.9 billion ($4.6 billion) from 672 transactions, followed closely by Emaar with AED15.7 billion ($4.3 billion) from 680 transactions. Meraas also made noteworthy contributions, recording AED9.5 billion ($2.6 billion) from 289 deals.

This points to a healthy, diversified market with steady demand from both investors and end-users.” This statement underscores the balanced growth within the Dubai market as it caters to a diverse clientele.
When evaluating project completions, Emaar led the way with 27 successful developments, while Binghatti completed 12, and both Azizi and Meraas finished with 10 projects each. In terms of units delivered, Emaar surpassed competitors with 7,318 homes, followed by Binghatti and Azizi, who delivered 4,093 and 2,633 units, respectively.
