On 3 July 2026, Dubai’s real estate market recorded a total transacted value of AED 1.28 billion. Ready properties took the lead, accounting for AED 698.1 million, or 54.7% of total transactions, while off-plan properties contributed AED 577.8 million, representing 45.3% of the market.
Category | Off-Plan (AED millions) | Ready (AED millions) |
|---|---|---|
Flats | 465.1 | 485.6 |
Villas | 43.0 | 149.9 |
Hotel Apt. & Rooms | 4.5 | 37.5 |
Commercial | 65.2 | 25.2 |
Total | 577.8 | 698.1 |
Off-Plan Market Performance
Total Value: AED 577.8 million (45.3% market share)
Flats: AED 465.1 million, contributing 80.5% of total off-plan transactions.
Villas: AED 43.0 million, contributing 7.4%.
Hotel Apartments & Rooms: AED 4.5 million, contributing 0.8%.
Commercial: AED 65.2 million, contributing 11.3%.
The off-plan market remained heavily concentrated in flats, which accounted for more than four-fifths of total off-plan activity. Commercial transactions also made a meaningful contribution, while villas and hotel apartments played a smaller role in the day’s off-plan performance.
Ready Market Performance
Total Value: AED 698.1 million (54.7% market share)
Flats: AED 485.6 million, contributing 69.6% of total ready transactions.
Villas: AED 149.9 million, contributing 21.5%.
Hotel Apartments & Rooms: AED 37.5 million, contributing 5.4%.
Commercial: AED 25.2 million, contributing 3.6%.
Ready properties outperformed off-plan transactions during the day, supported mainly by strong activity in flats and villas. Flats remained the dominant ready segment, while villas added significant depth to the market, accounting for more than one-fifth of ready transaction value.
On the Micro Level
A major mortgage transaction worth AED 178.2 million in JLT The Residences helped push ready transactions ahead of off-plan activity.
Market Insights & Outlook
The day’s performance highlighted a more balanced market, with ready properties taking the lead but off-plan activity still maintaining a strong share of total transactions. Demand remained concentrated in residential flats across both segments, while the ready villa market continued to show solid value contribution.
Overall, the data suggests that buyers are still active across both completed and future supply, but high-value ready transactions can quickly shift the daily market leadership, especially when supported by large-ticket mortgage activity in established communities.
