Market Insights & Outlook
Overall trading was lower than usual but better than Monday’s session, reflecting a “pause effect” from the geopolitical situation (buyers delaying commitments amid headline risk) alongside work-from-home dynamics, which can soften urgency and stretch decision timelines. Even so, the day’s structure shows off-plan confidence still leading the market, while ready demand remains selective, favoring liquid, rent-ready flats and pragmatic commercial deals.
