Market Insights & Outlook

  • Softer headline week: Both value and deal count eased WoW after a strong prior print; the mix remains resilient, with off-plan holding a 65% share.
  • Apartment-led dynamic: Flats continue to be the engine, 93% of off-plan and 68% of ready value.
  • Geographic concentration: New-build capital clustered in Trade Center Second and Business Bay; ready liquidity centered on Business Bay and Burj Khalifa, with steady flows in Dubai Marina, JVC, and JLT.
  • Near-term view: Expect off-plan to maintain a 65–70% share as launch pipelines stay active, while ready volumes should remain focused in prime mixed-use corridors where rental resilience and lifestyle amenities anchor demand.
