January Records the Highest Single-Day Real Estate Transactions in Dubai’s History
Badar Rashid AlBlooshi, Chairman of Arabian Gulf Properties, said that the record-breaking figures recorded by Dubai’s real estate market in late January reflect an advanced stage of market maturity and stability, reaffirming the emirate’s growing position as one of the world’s leading real estate and investment destinations.

The data further showed that sales alone reached AED 11.4 billion, covering land, residential units, and buildings, in addition to mortgages and gifts of significant value. This reflects broad-based activity across multiple real estate segments and underscores the expansion and diversification of the investor base.
AlBlooshi said: “Recording real estate transactions worth AED 15.6 billion in one day represents an unprecedented milestone and reflects strong confidence from both local and international investors in Dubai’s real estate market, as well as its ability to absorb large-scale investments within an attractive and globally competitive environment.”
He added that this record performance is closely linked to the wider economic landscape, coinciding with continued business growth, corporate expansion, and Dubai’s strengthening role as a regional and global business hub, factors that directly support real demand for real estate assets.
AlBlooshi explained that the figures point to genuine investment activity driven by long-term economic fundamentals, noting that the scale and value of transactions confirm the market’s transition toward a more sustainable growth phase.
