Dubai’s real estate services sector witnessed strong momentum in 2025, underpinned by increased activity across permits, transactions, and valuation services.
The growth reflects a more structured and mature market environment, supported by regulatory frameworks and rising demand for specialised real estate services.
The number of permits issued for real estate advertising and related activities rose to 26,044, marking a notable year-on-year increase. This trend highlights the sector’s expanding marketing ecosystem and the growing importance of compliant promotional practices.
Digital channels continued to dominate advertising activity, accounting for the majority of permits issued. Other formats included outdoor advertising, classified listings, and event-driven promotions such as project launches and open houses, indicating a diversified and integrated marketing approach.
Regulatory advancements have played a key role in enabling this growth. Enhanced digital systems and oversight mechanisms have strengthened transparency, accuracy, and compliance across real estate advertising operations.
The expansion of registration trustee and real estate service centres has further improved operational efficiency and accessibility. The total number of these centres increased, reflecting continued investment in service infrastructure.
Transaction volumes processed through these centres reached 282,661, demonstrating steady growth compared to the previous year. The rise in customer engagement also signals increasing reliance on formalised real estate service channels.
The valuation segment also expanded, with the number of registered valuers reaching 133. This growth points to rising demand for professional valuation services and reinforces the sector’s emphasis on credibility, accuracy, and market transparency.
