Off-plan dominated with AED 820.3m (61.5%), while Ready accounted for AED 514.0m (38.5%). Category Off-Plan (AED millions) Ready (AED millions) Flats 572.4 333.7 Villas 210.5 130.6 Hotel Apt. & Rooms 1.8 4.6 Commercial 35.5 45.1 Total 820.3 514.0 Off-Plan Market Performance Total Value: AED 820.3m Off-plan performance was overwhelmingly apartment-led, with villas providing a solid secondary contribution and minimal hotel-linked activity. Ready Market Performance Total Value: AED 514.0m Ready-market value remained anchored by flats, while commercial’s share was notably higher than off-plan, pointing to selective demand for completed income-oriented assets. On The Micro Level Market Insights & Outlook The day’s activity reflects a market still skewed toward future supply, with off-plan capturing nearly two-thirds of total value, an indicator of continued confidence in delivery timelines and product absorption. At the same time, the ready segment’s meaningful 38.5% share shows sustained end-user and investor demand for immediate occupancy, with a relatively stronger commercial tilt suggesting appetite for stabilised assets alongside residential trading.
