Property Finder Leads UAE Primary Market With Verified New Projects

Dubai, United Arab Emirates – August 20, 2025 - Dubai’s real estate market continues to strengthen, with sales transactions in July 2025 reaching USD 17.3 billion (AED 63.6 billion). This reflects a 27% year-on-year increase in value and a 24% rise in transaction volume, according to the UAE’s leading property portal, Property Finder, citing its latest market performance data.

Within this growth, the primary ready segment recorded 1,961 transactions worth USD 3.3 billion (AED 12.2 billion), representing a 66% increase in volume and a 56% rise in value compared to the same period last year. The performance highlights strong confidence in new residential developments, with demand for off-plan projects continuing to accelerate and offering attractive opportunities for home seekers and investors.

Across the UAE, interest in new developments has grown consistently, averaging a 32% quarterly increase between Q3 2024 and Q2 2025. While Dubai dominates demand, Abu Dhabi and Ras Al Khaimah each account for a 5% share. Among the top 10 most active communities, nine are located in Dubai: Dubailand, Dubai South, JVC, Dubai Investment Park, Deira, Dubai Hills Estate, Dubai Creek Harbour, Dubai Marina, and Business Bay, with Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah rounding out the list.

To meet this surge, Property Finder’s New Projects vertical has positioned itself as the UAE’s most comprehensive and fully verified database of primary developments. The platform offers 28% more projects than any other source, ensuring that buyers have access to accurate and trusted data, while agents and developers benefit from stronger visibility and returns.
