On the Micro Level

Market Insights & Outlook

• Resilient liquidity: Strong MoM rebound in value (+11.3%) and higher deal counts (+3.8%) underscore durable demand into Q4.
• Apartment supremacy: Flats dominated spend (off-plan 83.3%, ready 65.4%), aligning with affordability and breadth of product.
• Concentrated hotspots: Business Bay and JVC remained bellwethers, leading by either value, volume, or both; moves here often foreshadow wider sentiment.
• Outlook: With steady launches and ongoing land acquisitions, momentum should remain firm, though buyers are increasingly selective on payment flexibility, handover timelines, and micro-location fundamentals.
