Dubai's residential real estate market remained resilient despite geopolitical tensions in the Middle East earlier this year, recording residential transactions worth AED 225.7 billion in the first half of 2026, according to a report released by property consultancy ANAROCK on Monday.

The report, Dubai Real Estate: Built on Vision. Proven by Numbers, said the housing market withstood the impact of the conflict involving Iran earlier this year, with residential prices correcting by only 4-7 per cent during the February-April period even as the Dubai Financial Market (DFM) Real Estate stock index plunged 34 per cent at its peak.
