Off-Plan Market Performance

Total Value: AED490.70 million
Share of Total Market: 47.4%

Flats remained the dominant component of off-plan activity, generating 70.6% of the segment’s total value. Villas made a relatively strong contribution at 21.8%, while commercial properties accounted for 6.5%. Hotel apartments and rooms remained a small part of the market at just 1.1%.

Ready Market Performance

Total Value: AED544.82 million
Share of Total Market: 52.6%

Flats also led the ready market, contributing 64.3% of transaction value. Villas represented a substantial 28.5%, giving the ready segment a stronger villa component than the off-plan market. Commercial properties contributed 4.9%, while hotel apartments and rooms accounted for 2.3%.

Market Insights & Outlook

Apartments remained the market’s principal driver, generating a combined AED696.57 million across off-plan and ready properties and representing 67.3% of total transaction value. Villas followed with AED262.62 million, accounting for another 25.4%.

The day was notable for the ready market moving modestly ahead of off-plan activity, with a 52.6% share compared with 47.4% for off-plan properties. This differed from a market profile heavily dependent on new-project transactions and reflected meaningful activity in completed apartments and villas.

Overall, the figures show a relatively balanced day between off-plan and ready properties, while apartments continued to dominate both segments. The comparatively strong contribution from villas, particularly in the ready market, provided further depth to transaction activity beyond the apartment segment.
