Dubai Real Estate Sales Daily Report: December 10, 2025
Dubai Real Estate Sales Market Report – 10 December 2025
Daily Market Review
Dubai’s real estate sales market hit a major milestone on 10 December 2025, with total transaction value climbing above AED 10.1 billion. This exceptional performance was largely driven by a series of high-value land sales in Al Yufrah 1, a growing community in southern Dubai, which alone made up more than two-thirds of the day’s sales value.

Other than standout activity, the market showed strong and balanced demand: completed properties accounted for most of the value, commercial deals—though few in number—reached very high prices, and mortgage-backed purchases remained a key part of market activity. Overall, the day’s results highlight both the appeal of large-scale land investment and steady confidence across Dubai’s property sectors.
