Allsopp & Allsopp’s Dubai Q3 sales report, published on October 9, 2026, shows how a shift towards higher-value transactions can lift a brokerage’s average sale price.
Within the firm’s own transactions, the average reached AED5,447,110, up 14% from Q2 and 5% year on year. Its transaction count rose 4% quarter on quarter, while total sales value increased 19%.
A change in the mix of deals
The brokerage reported 38% quarter-on-quarter growth in transactions above AED10 million, compared with 11% growth in the AED1–3 million bracket. It explicitly attributes the higher average to buyers transacting further up the price range, rather than market-wide repricing.
Financed purchases accounted for 67% of its transactions, with cash representing 33%. These figures describe the brokerage’s sample, not every Dubai purchase.
How buyers should read the numbers
Imlaak analysis: A higher average transaction value does not establish that an individual property gained 14%. A sample containing more expensive villas can produce a higher average even without comparable homes becoming more valuable.
For an individual buying decision, comparable transactions in the same building or community are more useful than a brokerage-wide average. Property type, size, condition and payment terms also affect comparisons.
The public report page does not disclose the underlying transaction count or a complete sampling methodology. Its findings therefore offer a view of one firm’s business, with limits on wider-market conclusions.
