Market Insights & Outlook
- Core hubs led the tape. Business Bay dominated both off-plan (Thanks to Binghatti Skyrise) and ready, while Burj Khalifa topped ready value.
- Apartment-heavy mix. Apartments contributed 93% of off-plan and 65% of ready value, confirming depth on the mid-ticket end where buyers are most rate-sensitive yet active.
- Breadth improving. The rise in transactions outpaced value growth, indicating more deals at similar ticket sizes, healthy for liquidity.
- Watchlist. Keep an eye on JVC, Dubai Marina, and Dubai Creek Harbour, each feature in the weekly leaders and should sustain momentum if launches and handovers stay consistent.
