Quarterly report

Dubai property market — Q3 2026

Every figure below comes from sale transactions registered with the Dubai Land Department and dated inside Q3 2026. Mortgages and gifts are excluded; the register's own record of a sale is the only source.

Q3 2026 is still running. About 61% of it has elapsed, so the totals here are partial and will keep rising. Comparisons against earlier periods are withheld until it closes — a part-period measured against a whole one shows the calendar, not the market.
