Market Insights & Outlook

  • Softer headline week: Both value and deal count eased WoW after a strong prior print; the mix remains resilient, with off-plan holding 62% of value.
  • Apartment-led dynamic: Flats continue to be the engine, 87% of off-plan and 54% of ready value, while ready commercial was notably firm at 20%.
  • Geographic concentration: New-build capital clustered in Jumeirah Second, Business Bay, and Dubai Science Park; ready liquidity centered on Burj Khalifa/Downtown and Business Bay, with steady flows in Palm Jumeirah, JVC, and Dubai Marina.
  • Near-term view: Expect off-plan to maintain a 60–65% share as launch pipelines stay active, while ready volumes should remain focused in prime mixed-use corridors where rental resilience and lifestyle amenities anchor demand.
