Dubai Real Estate Market Logs 4,049 New Activities in H1 2025

DUBAI, Aug 11 (Alliance News): Dubai’s real estate market registered 4,049 new activities in the first half of 2025, underscoring the emirate’s rising status as a global investment hub and the depth of opportunities across the sector, according to the Dubai Land Department (DLD).

Officials credited the growth to the emirate’s advanced regulatory framework, including the mandatory Trakheesi System, which streamlines registration and activation of core real estate activities while boosting market transparency.

Real estate brokerage for property sales topped the list with 2,301 activities, followed by leasing brokerage services with 1,279, and land and property trading with 273. Other registered activities included property management supervision services (43), mortgage brokerage (43), real estate consultancy (40), leasing and property management for private properties (24) and third-party properties (9), property valuation services (14), jointly owned property management (9), real estate development (11), and mortgage advisory services (3).

Pre-approval from the Trakheesi System is also required for activities such as real estate development, leasing and property management for third parties, and services by real estate and promotion trustees.

The DLD said the H1 figures reflect a streamlined, digitally integrated licensing ecosystem that enables easy issuance and renewal of permits, in line with the Dubai Real Estate Strategy 2033.

The strategy aims to strengthen Dubai’s global positioning, ensure a secure and flexible business environment, and promote sustainable growth and economic diversification.
