Total Value: AED797.54 million
Share of Total Market: 64.2%

Flats overwhelmingly dominated off-plan activity, generating AED659.11 million and accounting for 82.6% of the segment. Villas ranked a distant second at AED85.73 million, representing 10.7%, while commercial properties contributed 4.5% and hotel apartments and rooms made up the remaining 2.1%.

The figures underline the continued concentration of off-plan demand in the apartment market, with more than four-fifths of the segment’s value generated by flats alone.

Ready Market Performance

Total Value: AED445.06 million
Share of Total Market: 35.8%

Flats also led activity in the ready market, recording AED272.82 million and representing 61.3% of total ready-property value. However, the segment displayed a considerably broader distribution than the off-plan market.

Villas generated AED87.45 million, contributing 19.6%, while commercial properties followed closely with AED79.54 million, or 17.9%. Hotel apartments and rooms remained a small component at AED5.24 million, accounting for just 1.2%.

Market Insights & Outlook

Apartments remained the market’s principal driver, generating a combined AED931.94 million across off-plan and ready properties and representing approximately 75.0% of total transaction value. Land transactions were close to AED 700 million.

The day was particularly characterised by the strength of the off-plan segment, which captured almost two-thirds of total activity. Within that market, the exceptionally high 82.6% contribution from flats points to a highly concentrated demand profile.

The ready market, while smaller overall, showed greater diversification. Villas and commercial properties together contributed 37.5% of ready transaction value, compared with just 15.2% for the same categories in the off-plan segment.

Overall, the day reflected a market firmly led by off-plan apartment activity, complemented by a more diversified ready-property segment and significant separately reported land transactions.
