Dubai: July 2021 was a relatively quiet month, compared to the growth we have seen over the few months in the Dubai Real Estate market, partially due to the Eid celebrations. Despite this, July still managed to have it’s mark on the industry.
July 2021 had 4,384 transactions worth AED 11.18 billion, making it the best July on record in the past 12 years.
This brings the year to date total to 31,757 sales transactions worth AED 73.15 billion. In just 7 months, the value of real estate sales transactions has surpassed 2020 as a whole. The entire year of 2020 had 35,401 sales worth AED 71.87 billion. Coming to a close 2021 as of July 2021 was 1.78 percent more in Sales Transaction Value when compared to the year 2020.

We are still seeing impressive value and volume numbers, July attested to this. The Dubai market is still and will continue to go in an upwards direction.” according to Lynnette A Sacchetto, Director of Research & Data.
