Dubai property, January to October 2026
Dubai Land Department figures put the first ten months near AED 625 billion across 181,866 transactions. Sales, mortgages and gifts are separate lines.
For the first ten months of 2026, reports citing Dubai Land Department data put transactions at approaching AED 625 billion, across 181,866 deals. Al Etihad published the breakdown on 13 November 2026. “Approaching” is their word. It is not a Land Department print of exactly 625 billion.
Sales, mortgages, gifts
Property sales were about AED 411.98 billion. Mortgages were about AED 164 billion. Gifts were about AED 49 billion. Those three lines are the market, not one sales total. A gift is a transfer, not a buyer paying that price on the open market.
What finished in the first half
In the first half of 2026, 104 projects were completed, with a combined investment value above AED 111 billion. In the first half of 2025 the same count was 75 projects, worth AED 73 billion. Completed means handed over. It is not the off-plan book still being sold.
How to use it
Ten months of volume does not price a unit in Jumeirah Village Circle or at Dubai Creek Harbour. Our third-quarter note still stands: compilers do not print the same quarterly total. Use this ten-month figure for scale, then read the project page for the developer’s price and plan.
