Dubai’s real estate sector registered 4,049 new activities in the first six months of 2025, according to data released by the Dubai Land Department (DLD). This figure marks a level of activity not seen in recent years and highlights the emirate’s expanding property services sector.
The majority of these activities (2,301) consisted of brokerage services for property sales. Leasing brokerage recorded 1,279 activities, followed by land and property trading with 273 entries. Additional registrations included property management supervision (43), mortgage brokerage (43), real estate consultancy (40), valuation services (14), leasing and management of private properties (24), third-party property leasing and management (nine), jointly owned property management (nine), real estate development (11), and mortgage advisory services (three).
The DLD attributes this activity spike to the Trakheesi System, its digital platform for licensing and activating real estate operations. Mandatory Trakheesi registration applies to services like brokerage, valuation, consultancy, and property management. The platform also handles pre-approval for development projects, trustee roles, and leasing services.
Officials say the digital registration system has streamlined application processing, enabling clients to issue and renew licences more efficiently.
