Dubai Property Services: Customer Volume in a Year

Dubai's real estate market is experiencing robust growth, with key indicators pointing to increased activity and market confidence. In 2025, the number of real estate permits issued surged by 24% to 26,044, driven by strong demand and a shift towards regulated promotional channels. Electronic advertisements dominated, accounting for 23,521 permits, highlighting the influence of digital platforms on buyer engagement and developer outreach. Simultaneously, transaction volumes processed through registration and service trustee offices reached 282,661, a 5% increase from the previous year, with the number of customers served climbing 7% to 563,920.

This growth is supported by an expanding infrastructure of valuation services. The number of registered real estate valuers reached 133 by the end of 2025, with new registrations increasing by 50%. The number of valuation offices also rose to 68, including eight new additions, strengthening the sector's capacity to handle higher transaction volumes. This expansion underscores the importance of valuation in investment decisions, financing, and pricing accuracy, particularly in a market attracting both institutional and retail buyers.

The rise in advertising permits is being supported by tighter regulatory oversight. Initiatives like the Real Estate Advertising Governance Platform are using digital tools and artificial intelligence to monitor content, ensuring accuracy and compliance across listings. This approach aims to enhance market credibility, reduce misinformation, and provide buyers with clearer, verified information.

Overall, the combined growth in permits, valuation services, and transaction channels signals a shift towards a more structured and transparent market. This translates into more transparent pricing, better access to verified listings, and smoother transaction processes for customers, reinforcing confidence in Dubai's active real estate sector.
