Off-Plan Market Performance

Total Value: AED 681.7 million

Flats: AED 559.6 million (82.1%)
Villas: AED 70.6 million (10.4%)
Hotel Apts & Rooms: AED 8.2 million (1.2%)
Commercial: AED 43.2 million (6.3%)

Off-plan activity remained the market anchor, with flats overwhelmingly driving performance and accounting for more than four-fifths of the segment’s total value.

Ready Market Performance

Total Value: AED 524.0 million

Flats: AED 380.7 million (72.7%)
Villas: AED 101.1 million (19.3%)
Hotel Apts & Rooms: AED 8.5 million (1.6%)
Commercial: AED 33.6 million (6.4%)

The ready segment also leaned heavily toward flats, although villas captured a more meaningful share here than in off-plan, pointing to firmer end-user and secondary-market demand for completed landed homes.

On The Micro Level

At the transaction-type level, total registered activity reached AED 2.21 billion across 711 records. Sales led by value at AED 1.75 billion, or 79.3% of the total, followed by mortgages at AED 413.1 million (18.7%) and gifts at AED 42.9 million (1.9%). By count, sales made up 526 transactions (74.0%), mortgages 173 (24.3%), and gifts 12 (1.7%).

Market Insights & Outlook

Dubai’s March 16 performance showed a balanced but still off-plan-led market, with new inventory continuing to attract the larger share of capital while ready assets maintained a solid 43.5% contribution. The dominance of flats across both segments suggests broad-based demand remains concentrated in the apartment market, while the stronger villa share in ready transactions hints at selective appetite for completed family-oriented stock. Overall, the market appears active, liquid, and supported by healthy transaction depth across both primary and secondary segments.
