    Market Expert Commentary

    "October 2025 marks the first non-record month of the year, signaling a healthy market correction after 10 consecutive months of record-breaking performance. This is not a slowdown - it's the market catching its breath. With DPI still up 14.29% YoY, Dubai real estate remains one of the world's best-performing markets. The surge in mortgage activity (+28.9% MoM) indicates strong end-user demand, which is exactly what we want to see for sustainable growth."

    After 10 consecutive months of record-breaking performance, October 2025 signals a healthy market correction. Total transactions reached 19,760 with off-plan sales dominating at 70.6%. The Dynamic Price Index stands at AED 1,683/sq ft, up 14.29% year-over-year.
