Category | Off-Plan (AED millions) | Ready (AED millions) |

Villas | 86.0 | 123.4 |
Hotel Apts & Rooms | 14.9 | 9.7 |

Off-Plan Market Performance
Total Value: AED 793.9 million
Flats: AED 607.9 million, representing 76.6% of off-plan transactions
Villas: AED 86.0 million, representing 10.8%
Hotel Apts & Rooms: AED 14.9 million, representing 1.9%
Commercial: AED 85.1 million, representing 10.7%
Off-plan activity was mainly driven by flats, which accounted for more than three-quarters of the segment’s total value. Villas and commercial properties contributed similar shares, while hotel apartments and rooms remained a limited part of the off-plan market.

Ready properties slightly outperformed off-plan activity, supported mainly by flats, which generated AED 602.9 million.

On the Micro Level
Market Insights & Outlook
The day’s performance showed a relatively balanced market, with ready properties narrowly ahead of off-plan transactions. The ready market’s lead, however, was partly supported by a large mortgage component, especially within flats, meaning the underlying sales picture was more balanced than the headline numbers suggest.
Off-plan demand remained healthy and concentrated in flats, while ready-market activity showed broader support from flats, villas and commercial assets. Overall, the market continued to show depth across both investor-led and end-user-driven segments, with apartment transactions remaining the main driver of liquidity.
