The Dubai real estate market in July 2025 reflected a steady rise in demand for villas and a shifting trend in apartment sales. The average villa price climbed to AED 5.2 million, showing a solid 32.2% jump compared to July 2024. This growth was largely driven by continued interest in luxury communities and new off-plan launches.

On the other hand, the average apartment price slightly adjusted to AED 1.3 million, dropping by 1.9%. This decline is tied to a larger number of sales taking place in budget-friendly areas, pulling down the average despite a healthy transaction volume.
