Dubai Just Had Its Best First Half for Luxury Real Estate. Ever.
Regional tensions. Global uncertainty. A market that was supposed to slow down.
And yet, Dubai just recorded the highest luxury property sales in its entire history.
January to June 2026:
296 homes sold above AED 36.7 million.
Total value - AED 18.7 billion.
Up 49% compared to the same period in 2024.
The single most expensive transaction - AED 422 million. One apartment.
Let that sink in.
Not a full year. Half a year.
During what many called Dubaiโs most uncertain period in a decade.
And here is the stat that tells the real story:
Only 4% of homes sold in Dubai last year were resold within 12 months of purchase.
In 2008 - at the height of the speculation bubble - that figure was 25%.
This market is not being driven by flippers and speculators.
It is being held by serious, long-term investors who believe in what Dubai is building.
That is a fundamentally different and far more stable market than anything we have seen before.
The people closest to this market are not running.
They are buying.
