Off-plan remains the engine of the market (nearly 69% share), concentrated in flat-led projects across Business Bay, JVC, and emerging clusters like Dubai Science Park and Madinat Al Mataar. On the ready side, prime and near-prime zones (Burj Khalifa, Business Bay, Palm Jumeirah) anchored demand, while community stock in JVC and Al Furjan sustained breadth. If launch momentum persists and ready stock in core districts remains tight, expect continued value resilience with mix skewed to off-plan flats and selective villa strength.
