July 2025 was a landmark month for Dubai’s property market.According to Property Finder’s latest market report, the city recorded an unprecedented AED 63.6 billion ($17.3 billion) in sales - a 27% year-on-year increase in value and a 24% rise in transactions.
This remarkable performance is not only a reflection of Dubai’s enduring appeal but also the result of strategic policy changes designed to attract and retain global investors.
Tax Reforms That Reshape the Investment Landscape
In July, the UAE Ministry of Finance introduced a historic reform: corporate tax deductions are now permitted on investment properties held at fair value.
This means businesses can claim depreciation based on current market valuations rather than historical cost - aligning with global best practices and offering greater flexibility, transparency, and significant potential savings.
“The Ministerial Decision is a forward-thinking move that enhances Dubai’s investment appeal,” says Cherif Sleiman, Chief Revenue Officer at Property Finder. “It strengthens investor confidence and fosters long-term portfolio growth.”
Performance Across Market Segments
Primary Market: AED 31.9 billion ($8.7 billion) in sales, up 32% year-on-year, driven by high-value transactions in Wadi Al Safa 3 (16% of total primary value) and Dubai Investment Park (9%).
Secondary Market: AED 31.7 billion ($8.6 billion) across 8,221 transactions, marking a 22% increase in value and an 18% increase in volume compared to last year.
Changing Buyer Dynamics
As rental prices continue to climb, more residents are transitioning from tenants to owners, particularly in the apartment segment. Demand for one-bedroom and studio residences is accelerating, and buyers choosing apartments over villas rose 3% year-on-year.
For investors, this shift signals sustained rental yields and liquidity in the smaller-unit market - a trend worth noting for strategic portfolio diversification.
