Off-Plan Market Performance

Share of Weekly Total: 67.23%

Sub-Category	Value (AED m)	% of Off-Plan
Flat	6,203.3	82.4%
Villa	793.2	10.5%
Hotel Apt. & Rooms	28.1	0.4%

Off-plan remained the clear growth engine of the market, with activity concentrated in apartment launches and early-stage projects. Off-plan flats accounted for more than four-fifths of segment value. Off-plan villas contributed a further 10.5%, while commercial and hospitality off-plan remained niche.

Top Performing Off-Plan Areas

Area	Value (AED m)	% of Off-Plan
Business Bay	678.9	9.0%
Jumeirah First	481.3	6.4%
Dubai Maritime City	387.4	5.1%
Jumeirah Village Circle	380.5	5.1%
Palm Deira	374.7	5.0%

The top ten off-plan areas captured just over half of all off-plan value. Business Bay led with close to AED 679 million in new commitments, followed by strong luxury and upper-mid markets such as Jumeirah First, Dubai Maritime City and Palm Deira. Emerging corridors like Madinat Al Mataar and Al Khairan First continued to pull meaningful capital, signalling investor willingness to move slightly away from the traditional core for growth opportunities.

Ready Market Performance

Total Value: AED 3.67 billion

Share of Weekly Total: 32.77%

Sub-Category	Value (AED m)	% of Ready
Flat	2,570.7	70.1%

Hotel Apt. & Rooms	116.2	3.2%
Commercials	250.9	6.8%
Total	3,668.0	100.0%

Flats made up 70% of Ready value, with villas contributing one-fifth. Ready commercial assets and hotel apartments together represented around 10%, indicating selective but steady investor appetite for income-producing stock.

Burj Khalifa stood out with more than AED 415 million in closed deals, supported by heavy volumes in Business Bay, Dubai Marina, and Jumeirah Lakes Towers. Prime waterfront and lifestyle hubs, Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Creek Harbour, JBR and Dubai Water Canal, continued to see healthy secondary demand.

Value growth outpaced deal activity, indicating larger average ticket sizes or a tilt toward higher-value segments compared with the previous week.

Market Insights & Outlook

Week 46 reinforces a familiar theme: off-plan apartments remain the engine of Dubai’s market, driving more than two-thirds of weekly value and over 80% of off-plan activity. At the same time, Ready demand is firmly anchored in established prime districts, with the Burj Khalifa/Business Bay axis and key waterfront corridors continuing to absorb capital.

The combination of rising weekly volumes and a small drop in transaction count suggests the market is moving up the price curve, with investors and end-users targeting larger or more premium assets. If this pattern persists into the coming weeks, it would support the case for continued price resilience in core communities, while still leaving room for value-driven growth in emerging areas like Madinat Al Mataar, Al Khairan First and the wider affordable development belt.
