Flats continued to dominate the segment, contributing more than three-quarters of off-plan sales, while commercial transactions also made a notable contribution at nearly one-fifth of the category.

On the Micro Level
Market Insights & Outlook
Dubai’s real estate market recorded another active trading day, with off-plan properties clearly outperforming ready assets in total value terms. The day’s performance was led by strong off-plan flat sales, supported by a sizeable commercial contribution. Meanwhile, the ready market remained balanced, with flats leading activity and villas providing a solid share of completed-property demand.
Overall, the figures point to continued investor confidence in Dubai’s off-plan pipeline, while the ready market remains supported by end-user and income-generating demand across apartments, villas and commercial properties.
