In the apartment segment, sales skyrocketed to 12,429 units, worth AED 22.3 billion, a month-on-month increase of 59.1%.

Commercial property transactions showed a volume increase of 27.4% on a month-on-month basis, reaching AED 869.5 million.
Plot sales, while declining by 6.5% in volume compared to last July, still contributed AED 12.1 billion from 843 plots. This indicates that the plot market continues to drive overall numbers, despite a slight decline.
The July 2024 numbers surpassed the previous record set in June, with 14,370 properties sold, worth AED 46.48 billion. This exceptional performance is a testament to the strength and resilience of Dubai's real estate market.
Over the past five years, Dubai's real estate market has experienced steady growth. July sales have increased dramatically from AED 4.4 billion with 2,300 transactions in 2020 to almost AED 50 billion with 16,000 transactions in July 2024. This growth highlights the market's potential and growing investor confidence.
Top-performing areas and projects in July included Jumeirah Village Circle, with 1,265 transactions worth AED 1.3 billion. Off-plan sales also excelled, with Palace Residences at Dubai Hills Estate, selling 915 apartments for AED 2.3 billion. Greenway at Dubai South was the best-selling off-plan villa project, with 114 units sold for AED 406.6 million.
Off-plan sales dominated the market, accounting for 67% of the total value and 66% of the total volume, while ready properties accounted for 33% and 34%, respectively. This trend indicates a rising buyer preference for newly launched projects.
