Market Insights & Outlook
Sustained value and higher deal count point to broader participation and larger average tickets, led by off-plan apartments. Flats remain the engine, 88.9% of off-plan and 64.7% of ready value, while commercial’s 10.1% share in ready signals healthy occupier demand. Near term, expect off-plan to hover around a 70% share as emerging corridors (Trade Center/Business Bay/Palm Deira) continue to anchor launch absorption; ready volumes should cluster around prime mixed-use towers.
