Historical market period: January–August 2025. This page was reconstructed on 13 November 2026 to restore a missing report. These figures do not represent 2026 sales or current studio asking prices.
What was reported?
A Gulf News report updated on 17 September 2025 described 26,103 studio transactions worth AED 20.1 billion during the first eight months of 2025. The total covered residential and hotel studios, so it should not be presented as one identical type of property.
What does the total tell a buyer?
It describes reported activity over a defined period. It does not establish the value, income, occupancy or resale prospects of a particular studio. A high transaction count is not a guarantee of investment performance.
Compare the legal and practical details
Check whether the offer concerns a residential studio or a hotel-related interest and ask how that affects permitted use, management arrangements and ongoing charges. Review the registered area, layout, furnishing, building condition and title information for the exact unit. If there is a tenancy or operating agreement, examine its written terms rather than assuming unrestricted personal occupation.
Separate off-plan and completed offers
For an off-plan property, verify the exact project using the DLD project-status service and review the sale agreement and payment schedule. For a completed home, confirm condition, occupancy and possession arrangements. Compare total acquisition and ownership costs on the same basis.
Frequently asked questions
Were the 26,103 sales all recorded in 2026?
No. The cited report covers January–August 2025.
Does the average imply every studio has the same price or yield?
No. Different units and structures require individual comparisons; the aggregate is not a quote or a return promise.
