Dubai's real estate sector continued to show resilience and depth over the past year, with developers driving strong sales across both the luxury and affordable housing segments, according to market data released earlier this year.
Transactions for high-value homes priced above AED 15 million, as well as affordable units below AED 2 million, recorded solid volumes and values, underlining the broad-based health of the market. The performance reflects sustained confidence among investors and end-users across multiple price points.
Analysis by fäm Properties indicated that Emaar reinforced its market-leading position, generating the highest sales value, delivering the largest number of projects and units, and launching more new projects than any other developer during the year. Data from DXBinteract showed that Emaar achieved sales worth AED 65.8 billion, followed by DAMAC Properties with AED 35.9 billion and Binghatti with AED 26.0 billion.
Emaar also ended the year with the largest number of homes under construction at 51,032 units. The developer delivered 27 projects comprising 7,318 units and launched 54 new projects during the year.
Binghatti recorded a notable rise in activity, climbing four places in the rankings to become Dubai's top developer by total sales volume. The developer completed 17,061 transactions, ahead of DAMAC Properties with 15,393 and Emaar with 13,149.
In the luxury segment, Nakheel led sales for properties priced above AED 15 million, recording transactions worth AED 16.9 billion across 672 deals. Emaar followed with AED 15.7 billion from 680 transactions, while Meraas reported AED 9.5 billion from 289 luxury sales.
In the affordable housing segment, Binghatti also led properties priced below AED 2 million, achieving sales of AED 16.2 billion from 14,627 transactions. DAMAC Properties followed with AED 8.4 billion from 6,828 deals, while Sobha recorded AED 8.3 billion across 5,887 transactions.
Firas Al Msaddi, chief executive officer of fäm Properties, said the strength across both luxury and affordable segments indicates that demand is not concentrated in a single category, pointing to a diversified and stable real estate market in Dubai.
