Dubai's luxury property market also posted robust annual growth last year, recording 6,668 luxury property sales worth approximately Dh143.8 billion, up from 4,735 transactions valued at Dh99.3 billion in 2024. That represented annual growth of 41 per cent in transaction volumes and 45 per cent in total value.
