Plot sales worth AED10.9bn ($3bn) climbed by 126 per cent in volume to 599, followed by apartment sales of AED26.7bn ($7.4bn) rising by 42.3 per cent to 13,737.

Firas Al Msaddi, CEO of fäm Properties, said: “Once again, the data underscores the strength of Dubai’s real estate market and the consistent growth it has shown in recent years. It reaffirms Dubai’s reputation as a secure, dependable destination for real estate investment, strengthening investor confidence and drawing increased interest from local, regional, and international markets.”
