Market Insights & Outlook
Off-plan remained the engine of liquidity (70.3% share), led by high-density apartment sales (80.7% of off-plan), with Business Bay and Madinat Al Mataar anchoring volumes. Ready activity rose in count, and flats dominated value (63.8% of ready), with Business Bay, Burj Khalifa, and Dubai Marina at the forefront, signaling persistent end-user and investor appetite for core, amenity-rich sub-markets. The slight dip in total value alongside a higher deal count hints at broader participation at lower average ticket sizes; near-term momentum should remain supported by launch pipelines and steady secondary demand in central communities.
