Market Insights & Outlook

This week delivered a clear YoY expansion in both value and activity, with total trading rising to AED 10.38bn and transactions reaching 4,207. The growth was led by off-plan (67.2% of value), where flats alone contributed 74.8% of off-plan value, highlighting continued momentum in the unit-driven primary market.

In the ready market, value remained substantial at AED 3.40bn, with demand concentrated in high-liquidity hubs, notably Business Bay and Burj Khalifa, and a stronger contribution from Hotel Apt. & Rooms (9.4%), suggesting active turnover in yield-linked assets and branded/hospitality-style stock.

Overall, the market’s shape this week is defined by primary-market depth (off-plan flats) combined with selective secondary-market strength in prime addresses, a mix that typically supports continued volume resilience, especially if new launches and prime resale inventory remain aligned with end-user and investor demand.
