According to data from Property Finder, a total of 44,590 transactions were recorded in the emirate between November 2018 and November 2019.

It's the highest ever since sales transaction data was made publicly available.

The report also indicates that overall volumes in 2019 could reach a 10-year high once the figures for December are out.
