| Off-plan activity this week was overwhelmingly driven by flats, which made up just over four-fifths of all off-plan value. Villas were the clear second pillar at 14%, reflecting continued appetite for villa communities. |

| Ready trading is still led by flats, which drove nearly two-thirds of all ready value this week. Villas remain strong at just under 20% of total ready activity, showing continued owner-occupier and upgrader demand for established villa communities. |

The ready market remains highly concentrated in core high-rise investment districts. Business Bay, Downtown (Burj Khalifa), and JLT alone accounted for well over AED 900 million in secondary activity, reinforcing central Dubai towers as highly liquid assets. JVC’s presence in both off-plan and ready tables shows it is a dual-market hub for investors: pre-handover and immediate rental stock.

Market Insights & Outlook
|
| This was a liquidity-driven week. Headline value was slightly lower, but total deals were higher. That usually means the market is not slowing, it’s broadening. Activity is spreading into mid-ticket and yield-led communities rather than only chasing ultra-prime. |
| Off-Plan is still the main engine at 63.7% of total value, with flats alone representing 81.2% of that segment. Ready deals remain dominated by high-rise apartments in Business Bay, Downtown, JLT, Marina, and JVC, confirming that investors are still comfortable recycling capital into dense rental stock. |
