Off-Plan Market Performance

Total Value: AED 1,421,506,496

  • Flats: AED 1,224,391,607 (86.1% of Off-Plan)

  • Villas: AED 133,344,073 (9.4% of Off-Plan)

  • Hotel Apts & Rooms: AED 1,845,110 (0.1% of Off-Plan)

  • Commercial: AED 61,925,705 (4.4% of Off-Plan)

Off-plan activity was overwhelmingly apartment-led, with flats capturing more than four-fifths of value, while villas and commercial assets added a smaller but meaningful layer of diversification.

Ready Market Performance

Total Value: AED 630,461,104

  • Flats: AED 492,328,836 (78.1% of Ready)

  • Villas: AED 89,693,704 (14.2% of Ready)

  • Hotel Apts & Rooms: AED 9,589,316 (1.5% of Ready)

  • Commercial: AED 38,849,248 (6.2% of Ready)

The ready market was also driven primarily by apartments, with villas maintaining a solid share that points to steady end-user demand for completed family homes.

On The Micro Level

Market Insights & Outlook

The near 70:30 tilt toward off-plan underlines strong confidence in Dubai’s development pipeline and payment-plan-driven projects, while over AED 630 million in ready deals shows investors and end users are still actively securing move-in-ready and income-generating assets. The dominance of flats in both segments reflects a city geared toward professionals and young families, with villas providing depth and stability. Overall, the day’s data points to a market that is growth-focused yet anchored in real, lived demand.
