Market Insights:

• Larger Deals, Fewer Transactions: Week 19 saw a jump in value despite fewer deals, indicating a rise in high-ticket transactions, particularly in the off-plan segment.
• Off-Plan Momentum: Flats drove the off-plan surge, underpinned by strong activity in Al Yufrah 1 and JVC, suggesting buyer confidence in new-launch incentives.
• Prime Ready Market: Ready-market transactions remain concentrated in premium zones (Palm Jumeirah, Business Bay), though overall ready-market growth is outpaced by off-plan.
• Looking Ahead: As summer approaches, expect transaction counts to moderate seasonally. Continued off-plan strength will depend on new project releases and developer financing offers, while ready-market values may hinge on resale availability in core areas.
