| Category | Off-Plan (AED millions) | Ready (AED millions) |
| Flats | 712.3 | 246.3 |
| Villas | 109.8 | 82.6 |
| Hotel Apt. & Rooms | 0.7 | 10.7 |
| Commercial | 125.7 | 43.9 |
| Total | 948.5 | 383.5 |
Off-Plan Market Performance
Total Value: AED 948,533,858
• Flats: AED 712,293,471 (75.1%)
• Villas: AED 109,791,266 (11.6%)
• Hotel Apts & Rooms: AED 719,650 (0.1%)
• Commercial: AED 125,729,471 (13.3%)
Off-plan activity was overwhelmingly led by flats, which contributed three-quarters of the segment’s value, while commercial assets provided a meaningful secondary boost and villas added further support.
Ready Market Performance
Total Value: AED 383,508,191
• Flats: AED 246,305,442 (64.2%)
• Villas: AED 82,642,485 (21.5%)
• Hotel Apts & Rooms: AED 10,670,000 (2.8%)
• Commercial: AED 43,890,264 (11.4%)
The ready market was also driven by flats, though villas held a much stronger share here than in off-plan, pointing to broader end-user and investor demand across completed residential stock.
On The Micro Level
Market Insights & Outlook
Dubai’s 15-Apr-2026 performance reflects a market still leaning decisively toward off-plan product, with 71.2% of total value coming from that segment, while ready assets retained a healthy 28.8% share. The dominance of flats across both segments suggests continued concentration in mainstream residential demand, while the stronger commercial contribution on the off-plan side points to selective appetite for future supply beyond pure housing.
