On the Micro Level

Market Insights & Outlook

• Liquidity surge: Double-digit MoM and YoY gains point to unabated investor appetite despite global headwinds. Land’s 43 % share shows continued faith in future project pipelines.
• Apartment supremacy: Across both off-plan and ready, flats captured two-thirds to nearly 90 % of spend, reflecting affordability and rapid handover cycles.
• Consolidated hotspots: Business Bay and JVC remain the city’s bell-wethers; sustained volumes here often foreshadow broader market sentiment.
• Looking ahead: With new launches slated for Q3 and steady inflows of foreign capital, Dubai’s transaction momentum is expected to stay elevated, though selective end-user demand may narrow to projects with proven quality and payment flexibility.
