Market Insights & Outlook

  • Momentum tick-up: Week-on-week gains in both value and deal count indicate a healthy breadth of demand, with off-plan continuing to set the pace.
  • Off-plan concentration: Flats remain the engine of new-build trading (over 92% of off-plan value), anchored by Business Bay and emerging innovation clusters (Dubai Science Park, DMCC-EZ2).
  • Ready diversification: The ready market shows a balanced split between flats and commercials, with prestige addresses (City Walk, Burj Khalifa) and core business nodes (Business Bay, JLT, Dubai Marina) attracting capital.
  • Near-term view: With headline launches and strong absorption in central and innovation-led corridors, we expect off-plan to retain a ~65–70% share of weekly value, while ready volumes should continue to concentrate in prime mixed-use and lifestyle districts as end-users and investors chase rental resilience.
