عقارات دبي النصف الأول من ٢٠٢٦: ٢٨٦ مليار درهم والمشاريع غير المكتملة لا تزال تسيطر على السوق

Dubai’s property market closed the first half of ٢٠٢٦ with ٨٦,٠٠٥ sales transactions worth AED ٢٨٦.٤٣ billion — the second-highest first half on record, behind only H١ ٢٠٢٥. Residential sales alone reached roughly AED ٢٢١.٣ billion . The headline for anyone watching the off-plan market: new-build is still where the volume is.

Off-plan led with ~٧٢% of deals

Off-plan accounted for around AED ١٠٣.٤ billion across ٣٢,٦٠٨ transactions in the half, with off-plan’s share of monthly sales running between ٧٢% and ٧٦% throughout. That’s the third consecutive year new-build has dominated Dubai’s transaction volume — the clearest signal yet that launches, payment plans and construction-linked buying define this market.

A rebound in June

June ٢٠٢٦ was the strongest sales month since April, with ١٣,٧٦٦ sales worth AED ٣٢.٦٦ billion — volume up ٣١.٣% month-on-month. Crucially, volume rose faster than value, which points to broad-based demand rather than a handful of mega-deals. After a softer May amid regional tensions, that June bounce is the market’s resilience on display.

ماذا يعني ذلك للمشترين

The slight cooling versus ٢٠٢٥’s peak is not weakness — it’s a market normalising from a frenzy into something more sustainable. For off-plan buyers, that’s a healthier entry window: strong underlying demand, less bidding pressure, and developers still competing hard on payment plans. The lesson of the first half stands — buy the fundamentals and the developer’s delivery record, not just the launch-day momentum.
