Dubai Posts Record Third Quarter for Home Sales
Dubai may well and truly be back. According to real estate portal Property Finder, the emirate recorded AED 42.4 billion (US$11.5 billion) in sales in the third quarter—making it the best Q3 in Dubai's history in terms of sales transaction value.

The 15,926 deals that led to the record-setting sale value also marks Dubai's best third quarter since 2009. Ready properties accounted for 56.6% of sales turning the timeframe, while off-plan (i.e. yet-to-be-built) homes made up 43.4% of the transactions, with each property type registering AED 28.85 billion and AED 13.5 billion in sales, respectively.
