Dubai Property Sales Hit All-Time High in April 2025
Dubai property sales reached a historic milestone in April 2025, with total transactions valued at AED 62.1 billion. This marks a 94% increase compared to April last year. The surge came largely from high-end developments such as Palm Jebel Ali and The Oasis by Emaar.
Palm Jebel Ali Leads the Boom
Palm Jebel Ali dominated Dubai’s April property market. It contributed to 19% of the total sales value, despite making up less than 2% of off-plan sales volume. This shows a strong preference for premium waterfront properties among investors.
Additionally, many buyers are drawn to the promise of long-term capital appreciation. Palm Jebel Ali’s new launches are seen as both lifestyle choices and investment vehicles.
Emaar’s The Oasis Adds Strength
Following closely, Emaar’s The Oasis delivered 13% of total April sales value. Similar to Palm Jebel Ali, The Oasis accounted for just 4% of volume. Yet, its high-value homes played a major role in driving market numbers upward.
This reflects growing demand for branded, future-focused communities, especially those developed by trusted names.
Off-Plan Sales Drive Market Momentum
Off-plan properties dominated activity once again. In April 2025:
- AED 34.2 billion worth of off-plan homes were sold
- That’s a 124% increase from April 2024
- Developers continue to attract buyers with flexible payment plans and early access pricing
Such numbers confirm the appeal of buying directly from developers, especially in well-located master communities.
Secondary Market Shows Strong Growth
Resale activity was also robust:
- Over 7,700 resale transactions took place
- Total value reached AED 28 billion, up 67% year-on-year
- Popular resale areas included Palm Jumeirah, JVC, and Dubai Marina
Buyers looking for ready-to-move-in homes or short-term rental options are fueling this segment’s success.
Sobha Buys Strategic Land in Jebel Ali
One of April’s biggest deals was a AED 1.45 billion land transaction in DMCC-EZ2. The land was acquired by Sobha for its upcoming Sobha Central project.
This deal highlights renewed developer interest in Jebel Ali, an area quickly rising as a new development hub.
Why Investors Are Flocking to Dubai’s Premium Projects
The April data reveals a clear trend: investors are prioritizing quality, location, and brand reputation over sheer size or quantity.
Here’s why:
- Luxury communities offer better lifestyle value
- Branded residences provide trust and future value
- Locations like Palm Jebel Ali are future-proof and master-planned
- Dubai continues to offer stable returns and global appeal

Dubai’s Market Outlook: Resilient and Expanding
