In the working week of 12 to 16 October 2026, the Dubai Land Department (DLD) registered property transactions worth AED 13.47 billion in total. Arabian Business reported the figures on 18 October, based on official registration data.
Sales made up the largest part: 2,676 transactions with a combined value of AED 8.59 billion. Mortgages worth AED 3.72 billion were also registered, a sign that bank financing continues to play a steady role in Dubai purchases. The remainder consisted mainly of property gifts.
Interest at the top end of the market also remained visible, with large transactions on Palm Jumeirah, in Dubai Marina and in Business Bay, among other areas.
Weekly figures naturally fluctuate, but they give a current picture of market activity. They show that on average more than 500 homes and other properties are sold in Dubai every working day.
