 Market Insights & Outlook

  • The surge in off-plan sales, particularly in emerging communities like Madinat Al Mataar and Al Wasl, reflects robust developer activity and ongoing buyer demand for under-construction projects.
  • The commercial sector’s strong performance in the ready market is notable and could be driven by strategic institutional purchases, especially in prime business hubs like Business Bay.
  • Ready apartment sales, especially in Business Bay and Dubai Marina, remain strong, indicating sustained end-user demand and investor confidence in mature districts.
  • With both the volume and transaction count rising, the market may be entering a new growth phase, especially ahead of seasonal interest in Q3.
