Dubai real estate market insights.
Underlying transaction records are sourced from the Dubai Land Department Open Data Gateway, refreshed every Monday at 11:00 UAE local time (Monday-morning timing ensures Sunday's DLD registrations have been published). Derived metrics (off-plan share, YoY change, medians) are calculated by The Propertic using the methodology shown beside each metric.
How to read
How to read Propertic's Dubai market data
Propertic's market reports use Dubai Land Department transaction data to track Dubai real-estate activity. Sales figures refer to pure sales transactions unless otherwise stated. Mortgage and gift procedures are reported separately when the analysis covers total procedures.
Pure sales
Pure sales are completed property sale transactions reported by the Dubai Land Department. They are separated from mortgage and gift procedures so that sales volume and sales value are not inflated by other transaction types.
Total procedures
Total procedures combine sales, mortgages and gifts. They measure overall recorded DLD procedures and should not be interpreted as pure property sales.
Data dictionary · Sales vs Procedures
"Sales" = actual property purchase transactions only (residential + commercial). This is the number shown on the homepage hero.
"Procedures" = every procedure registered with DLD: sales + mortgage registrations + gift transfers + other transfers. This is the number shown on this page below.
