On The Micro Level
Market Insights & Outlook
The day’s trading reinforces Dubai’s dual-engine market structure: strong off-plan appetite, especially for mid- to upper-tier flats, alongside resilient demand for ready homes and leased assets. This balance between future pipeline and completed stock continues to support a diversified, liquid market, giving both homeowners and investors multiple entry points into Dubai real estate.
