On The Micro Level
Market Insights & Outlook
Dubai’s market opened the week on a strong footing, supported by a clear preference for off-plan stock. The dominance of off-plan flats suggests buyers are still prioritising new-launch and under-construction opportunities, while the ready market’s smaller but healthy share indicates end-users and yield-focused buyers remain active. Overall, the split highlights a market that continues to favor future inventory, but without losing support for completed homes.
