Dubai's residential property market recorded transactions worth AED 225.7 billion during the first half of 2026, marking a 16% decline from the record levels seen a year earlier, according to Anarock. The consultancy attributed the slowdown to geopolitical tensions in West Asia, which temporarily affected buyer sentiment during March and April. Residential property prices softened by 4–7% between February and April before stabilising, while average prices remained higher than a year earlier at around AED 1,900 per sq ft. Anarock said the market recovered steadily following ceasefire efforts, supported by sustained demand and strong structural fundamentals.Read more
