Ready Market Performance Total Value: AED 678.4 million The ready market was even more flat-heavy, while villas played a bigger supporting role than in off-plan. On The Micro Level Market Insights & Outlook Overall demand leaned strongly toward off-plan, suggesting buyers are prioritising pipeline inventory, payment plans, and newer stock. The standout signal is the off-plan flat engine (over 70% of off-plan value), while ready commercial was comparatively light, hinting that occupier and investor appetite is still gravitating to prime, newer office/retail supply coming through the off-plan channel.
