Off-Plan Market Performance

Total Value: AED1,010.62 million
Share of Total Market: 69.7%

The figures show that the day’s off-plan activity was heavily apartment-led, with flats alone representing almost 60% of the entire AED1.45 billion market, underscoring the scale at which apartment transactions continue to drive new-development sales.

Ready Market Performance

Total Value: AED440.13 million
Share of Total Market: 30.3%

While ready apartments remained dominant, the segment displayed a somewhat broader distribution than off-plan, with villas, commercial properties and hotel units collectively contributing almost 25% of ready transaction value.

Market Insights & Outlook

The clearest feature of the day was the strength of the off-plan market, which captured 69.7% of transaction value, more than twice the contribution of ready properties. That performance was overwhelmingly concentrated in apartments, which represented 85.0% of off-plan activity.

Ready properties maintained a meaningful 30.3% market share, but with transaction value spread more evenly across apartments, villas, commercial units and hotel properties.

The additional AED459.22 million in land transactions also points to substantial activity beyond built-property sales. Overall, the session highlights a market where off-plan apartments remain the principal engine of transaction value, while ready properties and land continue to provide important depth across different segments of Dubai real estate.
