Dubai’s luxury residential market recorded 244 off-plan sales priced above AED5 million in July 2026, with a combined transaction value of AED3.42 billion, according to an analysis by Keturah using data from DXBinteract. The average value of these transactions stood at AED14 million, with demand spread across multiple price brackets. Apartments accounted for 151 transactions worth AED2.3 billion, while 93 villa sales generated AED1.1 billion. The data indicates continued demand beyond a small number of ultra-high-value transactions, with significant activity in the AED10-20 million and AED20-50 million segments. Over the preceding three months, developers recorded 942 off-plan residential transactions above AED5 million worth AED12.11 billion. Ready properties also recorded 43 transactions above AED5 million in July, valued at AED552.8 million.
Dubai’s luxury residential market continued to attract substantial investor commitments in July 2026, with developers recording 244 off-plan housing transactions priced above AED5 million, collectively valued at AED3.42 billion.
According to an analysis by luxury developer Keturah based on DXBinteract data, the transactions covered a wide range of price points, from the AED5-10 million segment to deals in the AED50-100 million bracket. The average value of an off-plan residential transaction during the month was AED14 million.
Apartments accounted for 151 transactions worth AED2.3 billion, while 93 villa sales generated AED1.1 billion. Among apartment transactions, the AED5-10 million segment recorded the highest number, with 81 sales valued at AED552.6 million.
Higher-value transactions contributed significantly to the overall value. There were 41 apartment sales in the AED10-20 million range, worth AED593.6 million, while another 24 transactions between AED20 million and AED50 million generated AED708.5 million.
The market also recorded five apartment transactions above AED50 million. Four sales in the AED50-100 million bracket had an average value of AED69.9 million, while one apartment transaction was valued at AED166 million.
Villa demand followed a similar pattern. Sixty villa transactions in the AED5-10 million range were valued at AED387.4 million, while 22 sales between AED10 million and AED20 million generated AED317.2 million. A further 10 villa transactions in the AED20-50 million segment were worth AED334.1 million. Another villa was sold for AED72.7 million.
Talal M. Al Gaddah, CEO and Founder of Keturah, said the figures indicated that demand in Dubai’s luxury housing market extended beyond individual high-value transactions. He attributed continued investor commitments to the city’s long-term fundamentals, international appeal and investment proposition.
The latest figures also extend a broader trend in Dubai’s high-end residential market. During the three months preceding July, developers recorded 942 off-plan residential transactions above AED5 million, with a combined value of AED12.11 billion. The average transaction value during the period was AED12.9 million.
Demand was not limited to off-plan properties. In July, developers recorded a further 43 transactions involving completed residential properties priced above AED5 million. These transactions had a combined value of AED552.8 million, with an average value of AED12.9 million.
The luxury residential segment continues to be supported by developments targeting high-net-worth buyers. Keturah currently has two luxury communities under development in Dubai: Keturah Reserve, a AED5.7 billion bio-living development in District 7 of Mohammed Bin Rashid City, and the Ritz-Carlton Residences at Keturah Resort on the Dubai Creek waterfront, next to the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary.
The distribution of transactions across price bands indicates that Dubai’s luxury housing demand is not concentrated solely at the highest end of the market. Activity across the AED5-10 million, AED10-20 million and AED20-50 million categories, alongside individual transactions above AED50 million, points to a wider range of investor participation in the segment.
