Dubai's property market closed 2025 on a strong note, with the Commercial and Residential Real Estate Price Index recording broad-based annual growth across all major sectors, according to the Dubai Data and Statistics Establishment (DDSE), part of Digital Dubai.
The overall residential index rose 9.81 percent year-on-year. Villas led the charge with a 14.83 percent increase, fuelled by growing demand for larger homes and integrated living communities. Apartments followed with growth of 7.38 percent.
Commercial real estate mirrored the trend, posting annual growth of 9.54 percent. Office spaces were the standout performer, surging 15.86 percent on the back of strong occupier demand, while retail shops recorded solid growth of 11.52 percent.
The hospitality sector also advanced, gaining 4.80 percent for the year. Hotel apartments outperformed, growing 6.25 percent, while hotel rooms recorded modest growth of 0.85 percent.
Younus Al Nasser, CEO of DDSE, said the results go beyond market performance, pointing to the strength of Dubai's data ecosystem as a strategic tool for economic decision-making. He noted the index supports Digital Dubai's push toward a data-driven economy in line with the Dubai Economic Agenda D33.
Mohammed Ali Al Badwawi, CEO of the Real Estate Registration Sector at Dubai Land Department, said the figures reflect the market's ability to sustain balanced growth across segments. He highlighted the department's continued use of digital tools and real estate data to deliver more accurate, integrated services aligned with the Dubai Real Estate Sector Strategy 2033.
The results reinforce Dubai's standing as a top-tier global real estate destination, with sustained investor confidence and transparent, data-backed market oversight driving long-term growth.
