Dubai’s residential market maintained strong momentum in August 2025, with the ValuStrat Price Index (VPI) rising 22.1% year-on-year to reach 227.3 points. Villas remained the key growth driver, recording 27.1% annual appreciation, while apartments followed with a 17% increase.
Key highlights from ValuStrat’s analysis include:
-
Villa performance: Values climbed across prime family-oriented and waterfront communities. Jumeirah Islands and Palm Jumeirah led with annual gains of nearly 40%, while Green Community West and The Meadows also posted strong growth.
-
Apartment hotspots: Affordable and mid-market areas outperformed, with Dubai Silicon Oasis (+22.7%), The Greens (+22.6%), and Remraam (+22%) leading the way. Citywide apartment prices remain 2.5% below 2014 peaks but have risen 77% since post-pandemic lows.
-
Transaction trends: Off-plan sales dominated, making up 77.8% of transactions, with Business Bay hitting record highs. Ready sales slowed by 20.6% QoQ, though JVC and Dubai Marina remained active hubs.
-
Luxury resilience: Nineteen homes sold above AED 30 million, including six over AED 50 million, concentrated in Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Hills Estate, and Al Barari.
While the pace of monthly gains slowed to 1.4%, the combination of strong annual growth, robust off-plan demand, and luxury sales underscores Dubai’s continued attractiveness for both investors and end-users. The outlook suggests a maturing market with location and segment-specific opportunities shaping investment decisions.
