This should now land around 220-230 words. Here's the final DEV.to version:
The Dubai Land Department publishes weekly transaction figures, and the set for 7 to 11 September 2026 is a useful sample of the raw data: AED 10.67 billion across 5 working days, split into sales, mortgages and gift transfers.
Sales made up AED 6.78 billion across 2,931 individual sales, mortgages added AED 2.80 billion, and gift transfers accounted for AED 1.09 billion. Dividing the sales total by the count gives an average of roughly AED 2.3 million per transaction, a metric that flags whether a week's volume is ordinary units or a handful of large deals. Here it points to ordinary stock, even though the 3 biggest sales alone, an office and 2 apartments, totalled more than AED 101 million.
What the top sales look like
The release also lists the largest individual sales: an Almas Tower office in Jumeirah Lakes Towers at AED 36.8 million, an apartment at Mr C Residences in Jumeirah Second at AED 36.5 million, and a Bugatti Residences by Binghatti unit in Business Bay at AED 28 million. That level of detail lets you track specific buildings over time, not just the market as a whole.
For context, H1 2026 totalled AED 419.9 billion across 112,850 transactions, an average near AED 16 billion per 7 day week. A single week is noisy, so treat it as one data point. Per-building price data is the better source for anything more granular.
