The first half of 2025 saw the real estate market of Dubai continue to record an unprecedented momentum as real estate brokers received a staggering AED 3.23 billion (around 880 million dollars) worth of commissions according to Dubai Land Department (DLD). This value is a historic 99-percent improvement in profits over a year, compared with AED 1.62 billion profits made in the same period in 2024.
Such a rush in running up broker commissions is only a component of an even bigger trend: the Dubai property sector is now in the midst of its strongest mid-year performance ever. During the first six months of 2025, overall real estate deals topped AED 431 billion (equivalent to approximately 117 billion U.S. dollars), a 25 percent year-on-year growth rate that can largely be attributed to strong-selling forces, increased leasing transactions, and a wide range of other real estate processes that testify to an active, vibrant market.
These historic figures are supported by a combination of positive forces, pro-growth government policies, high investor confidence and strategic growth of real estate services. New concepts like the Dubai Economic Agenda D33 and the FirstTime Home Buyer Program have recently simplified the market access to both the residents and the overseas investors. Meanwhile, the digital transformation and regulatory transparency have made the process of property transaction significantly easier, mitigating the possible friction and increasing the level of transparency.
It is in this setting that real estate brokers have played a pivotal role. During the first half of 2025 the number of transactions carried out by the brokers was above 42,000, which is a direct contribution to the total market growth. This industry is also receiving a new record of talent entry: 6,714 new brokers have entered the system and there are 29,577 licensed brokers in Dubai now, which reflects the increasing interest and confidence in the real estate brokerage field as a high-paying profession.
The Dubai Land Department views this broker-driven momentum as a positive sign of long-term market health. Not only does it reflect growing professionalization in the sector, but also signals that the current boom is supported by diverse and sustainable participation — from residents, first-time buyers, and industry professionals alike.
As the emirate continues to attract global interest and invest in real estate-friendly policy frameworks, Dubai’s property sector looks poised to maintain its upward trajectory — with brokers playing a pivotal role in shaping its future.
