Understanding the Dubai real estate market before selling
Before you sell property in Dubai, it's essential to understand the current real estate market. From pricing trends to buyer demand, being well-informed can directly impact your sales strategy and final outcome.
Dubai’s property market is influenced by a range of factors, including location, unit type, supply levels, and investor sentiment. While some communities see rapid turnover, others may require more targeted marketing to attract the right buyer.
Whether you’re selling an apartment in Dubai Marina or a villa in Arabian Ranches, working with experienced property selling agents ensures your pricing and positioning reflect real-time market conditions.
Our team provides data-driven insights, giving you clarity on how to successfully sell property in the UAE, with strategies tailored to your property and target audience.
FAQ
How to sell property - your questions answered
The right time depends on your personal goals, but market timing can play a big role. Factors such as interest rates, inflation, supply and demand, and global events all influence when to sell property in the UAE. Right now, Dubai’s market is thriving, with sales volumes and average prices at record highs.
The timeline depends on pricing and presentation. Properties priced accurately and presented professionally sell much faster. Our property selling agents use DLD data, real-time analytics, and market experience to value your home correctly and attract serious buyers from day one.
The more precisely the market price of your property is determined at the beginning of the marketing phase, the faster the whole selling process will be. Being overly aggressive with pricing compared to similar properties on the market and recently transacted properties or having a poor first impression will have a detrimental effect on timelines.
Engaging with an area specialist like Engel & Völkers will reduce the time on the market because we use different tools to determine the right price, including but not limited to the Dubai Land Department data, Property Monitor analysis, in-house recent transactions and most of all, our experience in the local and international markets.
Tip: Overpricing your property may extend your selling time significantly. Setting the right price is key to a faster sale.

When selling your property, you will need the following documents:
Ownership Document (Title Deed for ready properties and Sales & Purchase Agreement and/or Oqood for under-construction properties)
Emirates ID and Passport (if applicable)
Residence visa page (if applicable)
Mortgage Agreement (if applicable)
These document requirements are relevant to Dubai.
No, there are currently no capital gains or income taxes when you sell property in the UAE. You retain the full value of your property proceeds, making it an ideal location to sell property tax-free.
Yes, you can sell your property in Dubai with an existing tenancy agreement. However, landlords must honour the lease terms. For investment buyers, this is usually an advantage. For end-users, it’s important to consider the lease period and eviction rules before purchasing.
Yes, you can. In this case, the mortgage will have to be settled before the transfer. Both parties would enter into an agreement that outlines how the mortgage will be settled before the transfer of ownership. Our property selling agents will support you with all bank coordination and legal requirements to ensure a smooth transaction.
The transfer process typically takes 2–6 weeks when selling a property in Dubai, depending on the presence of a mortgage and how quickly the property’s developer, buyer and seller can provide the required documentation. Your Engel & Völkers advisor will provide a tailored timeline based on your specific circumstances.
