Market Insights & Outlook

Despite this week’s dip, off-plan assets remain the market driver, led by sizeable flat deals in communities such as Madinat Dubai Almelaheyah and Jumeirah Second. The concentration of nearly 29% of off-plan activity in the top five areas underscores sustained demand for prime new developments.

In the ready segment, the strength of flats persists, but the 8.6% share captured by commercials hints at growing institutional or portfolio-level interest, especially in Business Bay.
