The Dubai property market in October 2025
In October 2025 the Dubai Land Department registered 17,891 residential sales worth AED 42.1bn — 6% fewer than in October 2024, when it registered 18,934, and 8% less by value. Most were homes not yet built: 12,571 off-plan against 5,320 completed. A completed home changed hands at a median AED 1.38M, AED 1,382 a square foot — 4% more a foot than in October 2024.
The month in its year
October 2025 against the twelve months before it

Completed homes
What a completed home sold for in October 2025
Resales of completed homes, by layout — a layout prints at ten sales. Off-plan is kept out: a launch price is a developer’s schedule, not a market, and the month’s off-plan sales have their own line beside the table.
| Layout | Sales | Median price | AED/sqft |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 929 | AED 579K | 1,300 |
| 1 B/R | 1,705 | AED 1.01M | 1,324 |
| 2 B/R | 1,074 | AED 1.75M | 1,367 |
| 3 B/R | 542 | AED 3.10M | 1,597 |
| 4 B/R | 178 | AED 4.20M | 1,472 |
| 5 B/R | 26 | AED 11M | 1,937 |
Medians of what buyers paid at transfer, never an asking price. Each is a month’s sales, so a layout’s figure moves with which buildings happened to sell as well as with prices; the year-long reading of the same register is on Dubai property prices.
- Registration days
- 23, 1 October to 31 October. The busiest was 27 October: 1,148 sales, AED 3.6bn.
- Off-plan
- 12,571 sales at a median AED 1,782 a square foot — its own line, never blended into the completed-home medians.
- Villas
- 1,450 of the 17,891, as the register files them. A house sold with its plot is filed as land and is not counted here.
- Payment plans
- 1,012 registered under the Land Department’s payment-plan and delayed-sale procedures.

A community counts the sales of every building and villa project in it that has a page here. A sale the register files where we have no page — a plot, a tower not yet placed — is in the month’s total and in neither table. The busiest table’s price is completed homes only, so a community that sold nothing but launches has none; the dearest table ranks completed homes alone.

Every sale the tower registered in the month. The price is its median a square foot where it sold one kind of home — off-plan or completed — and a dash where it sold both, because the two are never averaged together.

Apartments and villas as the register files them. A house registered with its plot is filed as land, so a mansion can be missing here; it is read apart, with every year’s record since 2015, on the most expensive homes sold in Dubai. A home with no page here is named by the Land Department’s area.
Questions people ask
The Dubai property market in October 2025, answered
How many properties were sold in Dubai in October 2025?
17,891 residential sales were registered at the Dubai Land Department in October 2025, worth AED 42.1bn: 12,571 off-plan and 5,320 completed homes. That is 6% fewer than in October 2024, when 18,934 were registered. The count is of transfers the Land Department registered in the month; mortgage registrations, gifts, lease-to-own conversions, developers' own filings and transfers recorded at a fraction of what a home sells for are left out, because none of them is a price a buyer paid.
What was the most expensive home sold in Dubai in October 2025?
The dearest apartment or villa registered was an AED 220M off-plan five-bedroom home in the Land Department's Jumeirah Second area — 14,448 sq ft at AED 15,227 a square foot, registered on 8 October. Next came AED 155M at Bulgari Lighthouse, Jumeirah, and AED 100M at Jumeirah Asora Bay, Jumeirah. A house registered with its plot is filed as land rather than as a villa, so it is read apart, on the page for the most expensive homes sold in Dubai.
Which area of Dubai had the most property sales in October 2025?
Jumeirah Village Circle, with 1,578 registered sales, 1,109 of them off-plan; then Business Bay (964) and Jumeirah Village Triangle (931). The dearest, by the median price of a square foot of completed home, was Dubai Harbour at AED 3,610 across 29 resales. A community counts every building and villa project in it that has a page here.
The same register read as a year rather than a month: what every community and building sells for now is Dubai property prices, and how far prices have moved since 2020 is the Dubai property price index. Rents are read from the Ejari register as a year, with a new lease kept apart from a renewal, on Dubai rent prices.
