Market Insights & Outlook

This week delivered a clear acceleration versus last week, with both value (+16.7%) and deal count (+15.8%) higher. The headline story remains off-plan concentration, not only in category mix (flats + villas), but also geographically, where the top 10 areas alone captured over half of off-plan value. Meanwhile, the ready market showed broad, liquid demand across core districts, supporting overall market depth as activity moves into the new year.
