# Dubai mortgages and gifts

The Dubai Land Department registered 41 484 mortgages in the 12 months to August 2026, at a median registered amount of AED 1.36M, alongside 9 321 gift registrations. A mortgage amount is the size of the loan secured against a property, not the price of that property, so it cannot be compared with the 190 362 sales registered over the same period and loan-to-value cannot be derived from it.
