Market Comparison with Previous Week
The total market transactions of AED 7.07 billion for Week 47 represent a decrease of 5.7% compared to the previous week’s total of AED 7.5 billion.

Notably, Business Bay and Burj Khalifa remain prominent hotspots for property investment. Despite a slight dip in total transaction value compared to the previous week, the market shows resilience, with a balanced interest in both new developments and established communities. As we move into the following weeks, monitoring the performance of both off-plan and ready properties will be key to understanding the evolving trends in Dubai’s dynamic real estate landscape.
