The day’s results point to a market still heavily driven by off-plan demand, with flats remaining the most liquid and dominant product type across both development and completed property segments. However, the ready market’s one-third contribution shows that demand is not limited to future supply, with buyers continuing to target completed homes for immediate use, rental income and portfolio stability.
