In the working week from 26 to 30 October 2026, the Dubai Land Department (DLD) registered property transactions worth AED 12.26 billion in total, roughly USD 3.3 billion. Arabian Business reported the figures based on the authority's weekly data.
The bulk came from 2,579 sales with a combined value of AED 7.44 billion. Mortgage registrations accounted for AED 3.51 billion and gifts for AED 1.31 billion. The most expensive sale of the week was a Palm Jumeirah apartment at AED 55 million, followed by an office in Business Bay at just over AED 43 million.
Activity also remains high over a longer period. According to DLD data published by Emirates 24|7, total transaction value in the first ten months of 2026 reached AED 625 billion across 181,866 transactions. Of that, AED 412 billion came from sales, meaning 68% of the full value recorded in 2025 has already been reached.
Business Bay, Airport City and Al Yalayis 1 were among the best selling areas over that period, and ready homes took the largest share of sales. The sizeable mortgage volume in a single week shows that many buyers continue to rely on bank financing.
