The Dubai real estate market recorded substantial growth in 2025, with the number of agencies rising by 39.7 per cent to 9,728 and registered agents increasing by 34.5 per cent to 32,317, according to data from DXBInteract.
The expansion coincided with property sales that generated AED86 billion in capital gains for buyers across the emirate’s real estate sectors.
Talal M. Al Gaddah, CEO and Founder of Keturah, said the industry growth reflects market maturation beyond speculation.

“With greater choice, buyers compare more rigorously, brokers prioritise proven projects, and brand, delivery track record and product quality become decisive,” said Talal.
“In the luxury segment especially, abundance doesn’t drive volume; it drives selectivity, favouring developers that offer trust, differentiation and long-term value.”
DXBInteract data shows year-on-year increases across all property categories in 2025. Apartments recorded 37,188 transactions worth AED19.7 billion, up 35.16 per cent. Villas saw 11,325 sales valued at AED28.8 billion, rising 66.83 per cent.
Commercial properties totalled 2,900 transactions at AED3.4 billion, up 80.14 per cent. Plot sales reached 2,114 transactions worth AED34.1 billion, climbing 155.13 per cent.
Around 700 brokers will attend Thursday’s launch event for the final sales phase at Keturah Reserve, the AED5.7 billion residential development at Mohammed Bin Rashid City’s District 7 in Meydan.
The event at the JW Marriott Hotel is organised by fäm Properties, appointed as Master Agency for sales at the development by MAG.
Firas Al Msaddi, CEO of fäm Properties, said the event aims to strengthen industry collaboration. “We’re moving away from pure competition toward agencies and brokers working together to build a stronger market. Sharing knowledge and resources creates a more transparent industry that benefits everyone.”
Keturah Reserve launches final phase as Dubai property sales break records
Keturah Reserve comprises 533 apartments, 93 townhouses, and 90 villas designed around nature and wellness principles.
Townhouses have sold out, while more than 40 per cent of apartments are committed. Handovers begin with townhouses in Q2 2027, followed by apartments in Q3-Q4 2027, and villas in Q1 2028.
“The advantage of investing in a master community like Keturah Reserve is the consistent standard maintained by a single developer with long-term interest in its success, overseeing commercial spaces, amenities, and asset management to protect property values and quality,” Al Msaddi said.
