Dubai:  For the last 4 weeks the Dubai real estate market has been transacting more than 570 sales transactions weekly on average. These figures only returned after the secondary market bounced back and are back to pre-covid levels. The past three weeks the number of weekly real estate sales transactions have been consistently increasing by almost 11 percent on average .

Q2 2020 had 5,564 total sales transactions worth AED 10.88 billion which is half of what transacted in Q1 2020. A strong June laid the foundation for a faster recovery and we are seeing patterns of a  V shaped recovery as  we are back to the transaction levels of February and early March 2020.

This brings the year-to-date total of 15,893 total sales transactions worth AED 32.49 billion.

The secondary market (ready properties) only accounted for 28 percent of total sales in April and 33.5 percent of total sales in May 2020. However,  in June 2020, this returned back to the normal trend we have seen since 2019 as the secondary market accounted for 53 percent of total sales transactions.

“We have clearly seen pent up demand during this time and some real estate agencies are having record breaking months. Mortgage enquiries are high, interest rates are at an all time low and the banks are giving their best offers yet. The demand for villa/townhouses have increased by over 400 percent since the crisis started and I believe the summer months will continue to be busy as most will not travel and prices are very attractive.”
