Off-Plan Market Performance

Total Value: AED 1.01 billion
  • Flats: AED 899.7 million (89.0%)
  • Villas: AED 45.9 million (4.5%)
  • Hotel Apts & Rooms: AED 19.0 million (1.9%)
  • Commercial: AED 46.1 million (4.6%)
Off-plan activity was heavily concentrated in flats, which accounted for nearly nine-tenths of the segment’s total value. This shows that apartment-led demand remains the main driver of Dubai’s primary market, while villas, hotel apartments and commercial assets played a much smaller supporting role.

Ready Market Performance

Total Value: AED 494.7 million
  • Flats: AED 400.8 million (81.0%)
  • Villas: AED 71.6 million (14.5%)
  • Hotel Apts & Rooms: AED 1.8 million (0.4%)
  • Commercial: AED 20.5 million (4.1%)
Ready-market activity was also led by flats, which contributed more than four-fifths of the segment’s value. Villas formed the second-largest ready category, suggesting continued demand for completed family homes, while hotel apartments and commercial properties remained limited contributors.

On The Micro Level

Market Insights & Outlook

Dubai’s market on 14-May-2026 showed a clear off-plan bias, with primary-market transactions accounting for more than two-thirds of total value. The dominance of flats across both segments points to continued liquidity in apartment-led communities, where buyers remain active across both investment and end-user demand.
Ready sales remained meaningful at almost AED 495 million, but the gap between off-plan and completed properties highlights how developer launches and payment-plan structures continue to attract a large share of capital. Overall, the market remains active, with demand still concentrated in residential assets rather than a broad-based surge across all property categories.
