Market Insights & Outlook

Week 5 delivered a clear acceleration versus last week, with both value (+10.1%) and transaction count (+11.3%) moving higher. The market remained off-plan-led (64%), driven primarily by flat absorption (63.8% of off-plan) and supported by a meaningful villa component (27.3%). Concentration was notable: the top 10 off-plan areas captured 57% of off-plan value, indicating demand is clustering around a handful of high-liquidity districts and launch corridors. On the ready side, activity stayed anchored in established hubs (led by Business Bay, Burj Khalifa, and Dubai Marina), with a balanced spread across lifestyle and prime addresses, suggesting end-user and investor demand are both active, but off-plan remains the week’s main engine.
