Off-Plan Market Performance

  • Villas: AED 70.3 million (9.0%)
  • Hotel Apts & Rooms: AED 4.7 million (0.6%)

Off-plan activity was strongly led by flats, which accounted for nearly four-fifths of the segment, while commercial deals provided a meaningful secondary contribution.

Ready Market Performance

  • Flats: AED 276.1 million (55.6%)
  • Villas: AED 166.4 million (33.5%)
  • Hotel Apts & Rooms: AED 24.6 million (5.0%)

Ready transactions showed a more balanced profile, with flats leading the market, but villas also taking a sizeable share of overall ready activity.

On The Micro Level

Market Insights & Outlook

The day’s figures point to a market still led by off-plan demand, particularly apartment activity, but with ready villas continuing to show depth. The split suggests buyers remain active across both investment-led off-plan opportunities and completed homes, with liquidity spread across multiple segments rather than concentrated in one category alone.
