August – The star performer in 2022

Backed by strong demand from expatriates and foreign investors, the prices for properties for sale in Dubai have been continuously increasing since the 3rd quarter of 2021. Around 9,450 deals were recorded in Dubai in August 2022 alone – valuing nearly AED24 billion, with sales increasing by more than 65 per cent as compared to July 2022.
“The month of August can be considered as the best performing time of the year 2022, the best over years. It ranks second in performance criteria after the unmatched successes recorded in March 2010 with 9,650 deals. The average real estate price per square foot has now fully recovered after the contraction that was experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. It is a positive indicator for all types of ready-made and off-plan properties as the average price of off-plan real estate also rose in August to cross Dh1.6 million,” CEO Fam Properties, Firas Al-Msaddi said.
Business Bay – The best performing neighbourhood for apartments
Business Bay exhibited the best performance in August 2022 – with 435 ready-to-move apartments deals closed for AED670 million and 647 transactions recorded for off-plan apartments valued around AED1 billion.
