Commercial and hotel apartment activity remained limited, keeping the secondary market more concentrated in mainstream residential product.  On The Micro Level Market Insights & Outlook Dubai’s market on 06 April 2026 showed a familiar pattern: off-plan continued to absorb the bulk of capital, supported by strong apartment demand and a notable commercial contribution. Ready transactions, while smaller in total value, still delivered a healthy level of end-user and investor activity, especially in flats and villas. Overall, the mix suggests confidence remains intact, with buyers still favouring new-launch and under-construction opportunities, while the ready segment continues to provide stable underlying support.  Data Source: Dubai Land Department *Only freehold transactions were used

Dubai Real Estate Weekly Market Analysis 06-Apr-2026

A Strong start for Dubai real estate market in the first week of April  Total trading reached AED 10.591 billion in Week 14 on an ex-land basis. Off-Plan accounted for AED 7.473 billion (70.6%), while Ready reached AED 3.118 billion (29.4%). Transaction activity also improved, with 4,636 transactions, up from 4,097 last week, while weekly value increased by 22.3% from AED 8.659 billion. Category  Off-Plan (AED millions) Ready (AED millions) Flat  5451 2236 Villa  427 620 Hotel Apt. & Rooms  29 66 Commercials  1567 197 Total 7.473 3.118 Off-Plan Market Performance Category  Value (AED millions) % of Off-Plan Flat  AED 5451.0 72.9% Villa  AED 426.9 5.7% Hotel Apt. & Rooms  AED 28.5 0.4% Commercials  AED 1.567 21.0% Off-plan remained the clear engine of the market, driven overwhelmingly by flat sales, which alone contributed nearly three-quarters of the segment. The other standout was commercial activity, which reached AED 1.567 billion, a very strong 21.0% of off-plan value and a sign that the week was not purely residential in character. On transaction type, off-plan was almost entirely sales-led: Sales totaled AED 7.359 billion, or 98.5% of off-plan value, while Gifts stood at AED 97.6 million (1.3%) and Mortgage activity was negligible at AED 16.7 million (0.2%). The top 10 off-plan areas generated AED 4.490 billion, equal to 60.1% of the segment, highlighting a concentrated market led by Business Bay, which alone delivered AED 1.500 billion, or about 20.1% of all off-plan value.  Top Performing Off-Plan Areas Area  Value (AED millions) Business Bay  AED 1500.0 Madinat Al Mataar  AED 578.0 Dubai Creek Harbour  AED 387.4 Burj Khalifa  AED 339.6 Al Yelayiss 1  AED 303.6 Ready Market Performance Category  Value (AED millions) % of Ready Flat  AED 2236.0 71.7% Villa  AED 619.5 19.9% Hotel Apt. & Rooms  AED 66.1 2.1% Commercials  AED 196.7 6.3% The ready market was smaller than off plan, but still substantial at more than AED 3.1 billion, with flats again dominating at 71.7% of segment value. Unlike off plan, however, the ready market showed a much more balanced mix between sales and mortgages. Mortgage transactions reached AED 1.550 billion, accounting for 49.7% of ready value, slightly ahead of Sales at AED 1.406 billion (45.1%), while Gifts contributed AED 162.6 million (5.2%). This is an important signal: the ready market this week was not driven only by transfer activity, but by financing as well. Geographically, the top 10 ready areas accounted for AED 1.743 billion, or 55.9% of ready value, with Burj Khalifa alone contributing AED 692.6 million, equal to 22.2% of the segment.  Top Performing Ready Areas Area  Value (AED millions) Burj Khalifa  AED 692.6 Jumeirah Village Circle  AED 173.0 Business Bay  AED 165.4 Al Furjan  AED 136.8 Dubai Marina  AED 132.4 On the Micro Level At the individual asset level, the highest-value deals reinforce the premium bias visible in the area rankings. In off plan, the biggest flat transaction was in Burj Khalifa area at AED 121.8 million, while the top villa transaction came from Wadi Al Safa 3 at AED 13.0 million. In ready, the largest flat deal was recorded in Bluewaters at AED 90.0 million, while the top villa transaction was in Nad Al Sheba Gardens at AED 12.8 million. Relative to their segment categories, these represented roughly 2.2% of off-plan flat value, 3.0% of off-plan villa value, 4.0% of ready flat value, and 2.1% of ready villa value.  Weekly Comparison Metric  Last Week This Week Change Total Value  AED 8.659 billion AED 10.591 billion +AED 1.932 billion (+22.3%) Transactions  4,097 4,636 +539 (+13.2%) Market Insights & Outlook Week 14 was a strong rebound week, with both value and transaction count moving higher. The structure of the market remained familiar in one sense, off-plan still dominated overall activity, but the internal composition of the week was more interesting than a routine off-plan surge. First, off-plan was driven not just by flats, but also by an unusually large commercial contribution. Second, the ready segment showed real depth through mortgage-backed activity, with financing marginally exceeding outright ready sales by value. That combination suggests this was not a one-dimensional speculative week; it reflected both launch-driven appetite in off-plan and solid balance-sheet participation in ready stock.  Area concentration also mattered. Business Bay was the centerpiece of off-plan value, while Burj Khalifa dominated the ready segment, indicating that capital continued to cluster in established, high-liquidity districts. Overall, the numbers point to a market that strengthened week on week, broadened beyond pure residential off-plan flow, and remained highly selective in where large-ticket capital was deployed.  Data Source: Dubai Land Department Only freehold transactions are included

Dubai Real Estate Market Review: March 2026

March 2026 Sees Market Pullback as Transaction Value Slips Sharply from February  In March 2026, Dubai recorded a total transacted value of AED53.37 billion across 16,855 transactions. Off plan led with AED23.52 billion (44.1%), while Ready contributed AED10.50 billion (19.7%) and Land added AED19.34 billion (36.2%). Compared with February 2026, total value fell 29.2% from AED75.37 billion, while transaction count declined 19.2% from 20,852. Against March 2025, total value was down just 13% from AED61.19 billion.  Category  Value (AED bn) Share of Monthly Total Off-Plan  23.52 44.1% Ready  10.50 19.7% Land  19.34 36.2% Total 53.37 100.0% Category  Off-Plan (AED Millions) Ready (AED Millions) Flat  18,197.2 6,939.9 Villa  3,399.7 2,328.0 Hotel Apt. & Rooms  97.4 437.0 Commercial  1,827.8 798.6 Total  23,522.1 10,503.5 Off-Plan Market Performance Category  Value (AED bn) % of Off-Plan Flat  18.20 77.4% Villa  3.40 14.5% Hotel Apt. & Rooms  0.10 0.4% Commercial  1.83 7.8% Total 23.52 100.0% March’s off-plan market remained overwhelmingly apartment-driven, with flats alone generating more than three-quarters of segment value. Villas added a healthy secondary layer, while commercial stock also made a meaningful contribution, showing that investor appetite was not limited to residential launches.  Top Performing Off-Plan Areas By number of transactions, activity was led by more affordable and high-absorption districts:  By value traded, the ranking shifted toward larger-ticket and strategic master-planned locations:  This split is important: transaction volume was concentrated in broad-market absorption zones, while value concentration tilted toward premium and strategic locations. In other words, March’s off-plan market had both width and depth.  Top Performing Off-Plan Projects The top 10 off-plan projects generated AED4.91 billion, equal to about 20.9% of total off-plan value. The leaders were:  At the micro level, the off-plan market’s biggest single flat transaction came from Aman Residences in Jumeirah Second at AED422 million, underlining how a handful of ultra-prime deals can materially lift monthly value even when broader transaction volumes are spread across mid-market communities.  Ready Market Performance Category  Value (AED bn) % of Ready Flat  6.94 66.1% Villa  2.33 22.2% Hotel Apt. & Rooms  0.44 4.2% Commercial  0.80 7.6% Total 10.50 100.0% The ready market was also led by flats, though less heavily than off-plan. Villas accounted for a much larger share here, reflecting the role of the secondary market in end-user and luxury villa transactions. Relative to off-plan, the ready segment showed a more balanced mix across residential, hospitality-linked, and commercial assets.  Top Performing Ready Areas By number of transactions, the most active ready-market districts were:  By value traded, prime and mature communities dominated:  This tells a clear story: JVC and Majan were volume engines, but Dubai Marina, Business Bay, Burj Khalifa, and Palm Jumeirah carried the pricing power.  Top Performing Ready Projects The top 10 ready projects generated AED1.42 billion, or about 13.6% of total ready value. The leaders were:  The concentration here was lower than in off-plan, suggesting the ready market’s value was spread across a wider set of projects and communities.  Land Market Performance Land remained a major pillar of March activity, accounting for more than a third of all transacted value.  Top Performing Land Areas by Value Land clearly played an outsized role in shaping the month’s overall value; however, it was smaller than the previous months. Without land, the market would have stood at AED34.03 billion, meaning land was the swing factor behind March’s aggregate scale.  Highest Transaction Value Segment  Asset Type Area / Project Value Off-Plan  Flat Jumeirah Second (Aman Residences) AED422,000,000 Off-Plan  Villa Wadi Al Safa 3 (Karl Lagerfeld Villas By Taraf) AED43,421,000 Ready  Flat Bluewaters AED90,000,000 Ready  Villa Palm Jumeirah (EOME) AED100,000,000 Land  Land Sufouh Gardens AED705,000,000 These headline transactions show that ultra-prime stock and strategic land parcels continued to anchor the top end of the market, even as mass-market districts drove a large share of the monthly deal count.  Transaction Type Ex-Land Transaction Type  Off-Plan Ready Gifts  AED163.2 million AED676.3 million Mortgage  AED107.5 million AED4.24 billion Sales  AED23.25 billion AED5.59 billion Off-plan value was almost entirely sales-led:  Ready market value was far more balanced:  That gap is structurally important. The off-plan market remains primarily a developer-sales market, while the ready segment reflects a more mature financing-backed resale market.  On The Micro Level Monthly Comparison Metric  Feb 2026 Mar 2026 Change Total Value  AED75.37 bn AED53.37 bn -29.2% Transactions  20,852 16,855 -19.2% Metric  Mar 2025 Mar 2026 Change Total Value  AED54.08 bn AED61.19 bn -13% Market Insights & Outlook March 2026 showed a softer month-on-month profile versus February largely due to the current geopolitical concerns, with both value and transaction count pulling back, the year-on-year comparison wasn’t much different. The structure of the month was notable: off-plan remained the main transactional engine, ready retained depth in core urban districts, and land continued to command a very large share of capital deployment.  The area rankings also reveal a two-speed market. High-volume communities such as Madinat Al Mataar, Al Yelayiss 1, JVC, and Majan drove deal flow, while prime districts such as Jumeirah Second, Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, and Business Bay captured disproportionate value. That combination points to a market that still has both speculative breadth and premium depth.  For April, the key question is whether transaction activity rebounds from March’s lower base, especially in secondary market volume, or whether the market remains more selective with value increasingly supported by large land and trophy transactions rather than broad-based acceleration.  Data Source: Dubai Land Department *Only freehold transactions were used

Lumena Alta by Omniyat alone generated about AED 545.3 million from the listed office sales, equivalent to roughly 86.6% of off-plan commercial value and 26.5% of total off-plan value, materially lifting the off-plan segment.  Ready Market Performance Total Value: AED 425.7 million The Ready market remained much smaller than Off plan, with demand concentrated in flats. Villas also posted a meaningful share, while commercial and hotel-linked assets played a secondary role in the day’s completed-market activity.  On The Micro Level Market Insights & Outlook The 01-Apr-2026 data points to a market still firmly led by Off-plan, but with a notable twist: this was not just a standard apartment-led session. While flats remained the backbone of both Off-plan and Ready demand, the surge in off-plan commercial value , driven by Lumena Alta by Omniyat, widened the gap between the two segments and pushed total daily activity above AED 2.48 billion. Overall, the market continues to show strong primary-market depth, while the secondary market remains healthy but clearly less dominant on this session.  Data Source: Dubai Land Department *Only freehold transactions were used

Off-plan dominated with AED 857,614,638 (61.1%), while Ready accounted for AED 545,771,475 (38.9%).  Category  Off-Plan (AED millions) Ready (AED millions) Flats  707.1 388.6 Villas  100.8 94.8 Hotel Apt. & Rooms  1.0 6.7 Commercial  48.7 55.7 Total 857.6 545.8 Off-Plan Market Performance Total Value: AED 857,614,638 Off-plan activity remained the main driver of the market, with apartment sales overwhelmingly leading the segment and reinforcing continued end-user and investor appetite for launch-driven stock.  Ready Market Performance Total Value: AED 545,771,475 The ready market delivered a solid contribution, led by flats but with a more balanced mix than off-plan, as villas and commercial assets captured a meaningful share of completed-property demand.  On The Micro Level Market Insights & Outlook Dubai’s market on 30 March 2026 remained clearly tilted toward off-plan, which captured just over three-fifths of total value. The dominance of off-plan flats signals that developers continue to attract liquidity efficiently, while the healthy ready-market share suggests underlying depth in completed communities. Together, this indicates demand remains active across both speculative growth-oriented buying and more immediate-use acquisitions.  Data Source: Dubai Land Department *Only freehold transactions were used

Dubai Real Estate Weekly Market Analysis 30-Mar-2026

Full-Week Rebound After Holiday  Total trading reached AED 8.66B in Week 13, compared to AED 5.82B last week, marking a strong 48.7% rebound. The comparison should be viewed in context, however, as Week 12 was shortened by the Eid Al Fitr holiday, while Week 13 reflects a full working week. Off plan continued to dominate market activity, contributing AED 6.74B (77.8%), while ready transactions accounted for AED 1.92B (22.2%).  Category  Off-Plan (AED millions) Ready (AED millions) Flat  5,461.6 1,291.9 Villa  763.2 518.4 Hotel Apt. & Rooms  20.9 56.6 Commercials  494.8 51.9 Total  6,740.5 1,918.9 Off-Plan Market Performance Total Value: AED 6.74B Share of Weekly Total: 77.8% Sub-Category  Value (AED millions) % of Off-Plan Flat  5,461.6 81.0% Villa  763.2 11.3% Hotel Apt. & Rooms  20.9 0.3% Commercials  494.8 7.3% Off plan remained the clear engine of the market, with flats making up 81.0% of the segment’s value. Villas contributed 11.3%, while commercial assets represented 7.3%, showing that the week’s momentum was still largely driven by apartment-led launches and broad investor demand across major master-planned communities.  Top Performing Off-Plan Areas Area  Value (AED millions) Jumeirah Second  591.4 Al Yelayiss 1  566.1 Madinat Al Mataar  555.4 Business Bay  401.6 Dubai Islands  370.3 The top 10 off-plan areas generated AED 3.61B, equivalent to 53.5% of total off-plan value, underlining how concentrated activity was in a handful of launch-heavy districts. Jumeirah Second led the market with AED 591.4M, followed closely by Al Yelayiss 1 and Madinat Al Mataar, confirming that high-value master developments continued to attract the bulk of capital.  Ready Market Performance Total Value: AED 1.92B Share of Weekly Total: 22.2% Sub-Category  Value (AED millions) % of Ready Flat  1,291.9 67.3% Villa  518.4 27.0% Hotel Apt. & Rooms  56.6 2.9% Commercials  51.9 2.7% The ready market remained meaningfully smaller than off-plan but still showed healthy depth. Flats accounted for 67.3% of ready value, with villas contributing 27.0%, which means the resale market was also overwhelmingly residential in nature. Hotel apartments and commercial assets played only a minor role in the overall weekly mix.  Top Performing Ready Areas Area  Value (AED millions) Business Bay  187.8 Jumeirah Village Circle  150.6 Burj Khalifa  126.6 Dubai Marina  87.9 Dubai Creek Harbour  85.0 The top 10 ready areas recorded AED 948.3M, or 49.4% of the ready segment. Business Bay led the way with AED 187.8M, followed by Jumeirah Village Circle and Burj Khalifa, showing that secondary market demand remained concentrated in established, liquid urban locations.  On the Micro Level Transaction Type  Off-Plan (AED millions) Ready (AED millions) Gifts  60.0 128.2 Mortgage  84.8 734.8 Sales  6,595.6 1,055.9 Off-plan was almost entirely sales-led, with sales contributing 97.9% of total off-plan value. Mortgages represented only 1.3%, while gifts accounted for 0.9%. This is consistent with the nature of the off-plan market, where buyers typically enter through direct developer sales rather than financed resales.  The ready market presented a very different profile. Sales made up 55.0% of ready value, while mortgages accounted for a significant 38.3%, and gifts represented 6.7%. This highlights how much more financing-dependent and transfer-driven the secondary market remains compared with the off-plan segment.  Across the total ex-land market, sales dominated at 88.4%, followed by mortgages at 9.5% and gifts at 2.2%.  The highest-value transactions of the week also reinforced where pricing strength was concentrated:  The AED 356.2M off-plan flat deal in Jumeirah Second was especially notable, equivalent to roughly 4.1% of the entire week’s ex-land trading value on its own.  Weekly Comparison Metric  Last Week This Week Change Total Value AED 5.82B AED 8.66B +48.7% Total Number of Transactions 2,520 4097 +62.5% Market Insights & Outlook Week 13 showed a strong recovery in transaction value, but the gain needs to be interpreted carefully because the prior week was shortened by Eid. Even so, the scale of the rebound is significant. A full working week immediately pushed trading back toward a much stronger range, with off-plan once again carrying the market through large apartment-led transactions in key districts such as Jumeirah Second, Al Yelayiss 1, and Madinat Al Mataar.  The structure of activity also remains telling. Off-plan continues to dominate total value, and does so with an overwhelmingly sales-driven profile, which points to sustained appetite for new launches and developer inventory. Meanwhile, the ready segment remains more financing-heavy and centered on mature, liquid neighborhoods such as Business Bay, JVC, Burj Khalifa, and Dubai Marina.  Overall, Week 13 suggests that last week’s softer headline was more a function of a holiday-compressed trading window than any material weakening in underlying demand. The return to a full week quickly restored momentum, with the market once again showing a familiar pattern: off-plan driving the headline numbers, and ready transactions providing depth through mortgage-backed resale activity.  Data Source: Dubai Land Department Only freehold transactions are included
