Dubai publishes every registered property transaction as open data: sales, off-plan sales, mortgages and gifts, with the price, the size and the area. Portals show asking prices; this register shows what buyers actually paid.

I pulled every transaction the Dubai Land Department (DLD) registered from 1 to 29 October 2026: 16,108 rows after cleaning, of which 11,027 are sales , and grouped them by off-plan vs ready, by area and by bedroom count. Data as of 29 October 2026, 15:26 UTC.

The short answer

58% of Dubai property sales in October 2026 were off-plan : 6,420 of 11,027 registered sales. Ready sales were 4,607.
