Dubai, February 9, 2026 — Dubai’s real estate market showed a clear acceleration in transaction momentum today, with multiple key districts experiencing rapid deal flow and increased buyer commitment.

Market estimates indicate approximately 6,120 property-related transactions recorded today, including residential sales, off-plan reservations, secondary market transfers, and mortgage registrations. Total daily transaction value reached around AED 7.68 billion, marking the highest transaction count so far this month.

Market breakdown:

• Residential assets accounted for approximately 72% of activity

• Off-plan transactions represented 56% of total deal volume

• Cash and low-leverage purchases made up about 49%, highlighting solid investor liquidity

The AED 1.0M–2.8M price range remained the most active, driving an average price increase of 4.6% compared to the previous period. Several high-demand communities saw selective second-round price adjustments.

Key areas including Business Bay, Meydan, Dubai Hills Estate, and Dubai Creek Harbour contributed to over 50% of total transactions. In Business Bay, near-handover projects recorded a notable spike in weekend sales activity.

Rental market indicators also strengthened. Since the start of 2026, new residential lease rates have increased by approximately 8.4% year-on-year, while short-term rental assets in select locations are approaching 9.5% annual cash yields.

Analysts suggest Dubai has entered a momentum-driven market phase, where early movers are better positioned to secure pricing advantages and premium inventory.
