Property sales accounted for the bulk of activity, followed by mortgages and land transactions. June, July and August were the busiest months, when almost 40% of the deals were closed. Business Bay, Dubai Marina and Burj Khalifa were the most popular areas for unit sales, while land investors favoured Seeh Shuaib 1 and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Gardens.
