Dubai’s Property Market Heats Up: Bayut Data Reveals Summer Is Peak Season For Real Estate Activity
Dubai gets HOT in Summer, and so does the Dubai real estate market. New insights from Bayut, the UAE’s leading real estate platform, known for its deep data capabilities and AI-powered tools, show that summer is one of the most active periods for property transactions.
According to Dubai Land Department (DLD) figures, analysed by Bayut’s proprietary systems, summer 2024 (June–September) recorded the highest volume of property sales and rental transactions for the year, with 64,596 property sales—a 38.1% increase over winter and an 18.1% rise over spring.
Rental activity remained equally robust, with 372,337 total rental transactions—surpassing all other seasons. These findings are visualised and accessible through Dubai Transactions on Bayut, a real-time analytics tool that helps users explore transactional trends across communities and time periods.
Transaction Activity by Season (2024)
| Season | Sales Transactions | Rental Transactions |
| Winter | 46,766 | 368,500 |
| Spring | 54,704 | 352,400 |
| Summer | 64,596 | 372,337 |
This is part of a three-year upward trend. Sales during summer 2024 rose 37.7% over 2023, which in turn had seen a 38.5% increase over 2022, showing sustained, year-on-year summer growth across both sales and rentals.
“Summer represents a busy and vibrant time for Dubai’s property sector,” said Haider Khan, CEO of Bayut. “Bayut’s data paints a very clear picture: buyer and renter interest remains strong year-round, and our tools like Dubai Transactions and TruEstimate™ are enabling smarter, faster decisions. The market is more active, more informed and more digitally enabled than ever before.”
