On The Micro Level

Market Insights & Outlook

The market opened the year with a clear off-plan tilt, driven by strong apartment absorption and comparatively limited reliance on commercial value. Ready activity contributed a smaller share overall, but showed a healthier mix, particularly villas and hotel units, suggesting end-user and lifestyle-driven demand remains active alongside investor-led off-plan momentum.
