Dubai recorded its highest-ever single-day real estate transaction value on January 26, reaching AED15.6 billion ($4.25 billion), according to data from the Dubai Land Department.
The total was generated through 1,501 transactions, underscoring strong demand and deep market liquidity. Moreover, sales alone accounted for AED11.4 billion, covering land, residential units and buildings. Mortgages and gifts also contributed significant value, reflecting activity across multiple segments and a broadening investor base.
Badar Rashid AlBlooshi, Chairman of Arabian Gulf Properties, said: “Recording real estate transactions worth AED15.6 billion in one day represents an unprecedented milestone and reflects strong confidence from both local and international investors in Dubai’s real estate market, as well as its ability to absorb large-scale investments within an attractive and globally competitive environment.”
He added that the performance aligns with continued business growth and corporate expansion, which support real demand for property assets. Furthermore, he noted that the scale of transactions indicates a shift toward more sustainable growth.
AlBlooshi said his company is responding by developing projects focused on strategic locations and long-term value. Consequently, the record reinforces Dubai’s position as a leading global real estate destination.
