Dubai’s property market recorded a strong performance in May 2025, reaching AED 66.8 billion (approx. $18.2 billion) in real estate sales, according to data from Property Finder. This marks a 44% increase in value compared to the same month last year and reflects growing investor confidence in the market.
A total of 18,700 transactions were recorded, up by 6% year-on-year. The rise in both volume and value shows the continued strength of Dubai’s real estate sector, driven by strong demand in both the off-plan (primary) and ready (secondary) markets.
Primary market sales were the standout performer, soaring 314% in value from May 2024. Secondary market transactions also grew, with a 21% increase in value.

The surge in activity comes at a time when Dubai is embracing innovation in real estate, including the use of blockchain technology and property tokenization. Tokenization allows real estate assets to be divided into digital shares, making it easier for a wider range of investors to enter the market. This trend, along with new regulations supporting blockchain-based transactions, is expected to reshape how real estate is bought and sold in the region.
One of the most notable developments was a record-setting $3 billion blockchain real estate deal, which further signals Dubai’s ambition to become a global leader in digital property investments.
With investor interest rising and technology opening new doors, Dubai’s real estate market continues to offer strong potential for both local and international buyers.
