Sustained Growth in Property Transactions "Despite subdued price appreciation, the monthly volume of sales transactions continues to surge, with a 2.6 percent increase in February, totaling 11,913 sales and marking the highest volume ever recorded for the month. This new record surpasses last year's figure by a significant 30.4 percent," stated the report. Residential transactions, including apartments, townhouses, and villas, dominated the market, accounting for 92.1 percent of sales (10,966 transactions). The highest transacted commercial property types were hotel apartments (2.8 percent), office spaces (2.2 percent), and land sales (1.7 percent). The report highlighted that the consistently high sales volume is being driven by a seemingly insatiable demand for off-plan properties, particularly in the apartment segment, where sales volumes are steadily rising. In contrast, activity in the villa and townhouse segment remains relatively flat, which the report attributes more to supply constraints rather than a lack of buyer demand. "In January, a total of 6,384 off-plan Oqood transactions were registered, representing a slight 0.5 percent month-on-month decrease in volume and a 1.6 percent decrease in market share, dropping to 53.8 percent. Title Deed sale volumes, on the other hand, saw an increase, rising by 6.3 percent and now constituting 46.4 percent of all sales transactions. While Oqood transactions are typically used to gauge the off-plan market, the Dubai Land Department data presents several villa and townhouse sales as issued with Title Deeds, indicating completed properties rather than properties still under construction and sold off-plan," the report noted. Off-plan transactions continue to hold a dominant market share of 59.8 percent, aligning closely with the general long-term split between off-plan and existing sales segments. Meanwhile, resales transactions—subsequent sales of properties following the initial first-time sale from the developer, whether for an off-plan or completed project—reached 4,970 in February, maintaining a relatively static market share of 41.7 percent compared to the previous month. Initial developer sales retained their significant market share of 58.3 percent, showing only a marginal increase of 0.1 percent. Mortgage Market Dynamics In February, mortgage transaction volumes experienced a slight decrease of just under 5.0 percent, with a total of 2,868 loans recorded. Loans for new purchase money mortgages represented 46.1 percent of borrowing activity, marking a 6.3 percent increase from the previous month, with the average amount borrowed being Dh1.77 million at a loan-to-value ratio of 75.6 percent. Loans for refinancing and equity release experienced a slight decrease in market share, dropping by 0.3 percent to 37.6 percent. The remaining 16.3 percent (a decrease of 6.0 percent from the previous month) was attributed to bulk mortgages—those obtained by developers and larger investors with multiple units.
