Market Insights & Outlook
Liquidity edged higher this week: total value is up 2.7% and deal count rose 2.6%. The increase was almost entirely driven by off-plan, which jumped 4.7% week-on-week and now represents just over 61% of all AED traded.
Ready volumes were broadly stable (down 0.3%), which suggests no slowdown in the secondary market, just that off plan pulled more capital. High-ticket resales in Business Bay, Burj Khalifa and Palm Jumeirah continue to clear, supporting pricing at the top end.
Takeaway: buyers are still paying upfront for future product and still paying premiums for delivered trophy stock. The market is not rotating out of one segment into the other, it is funding at the same time.
