Market Insights
Flats overwhelmingly drive both segments, nearly 88% of Off-Plan and two-thirds of Ready sales, underscoring sustained demand for residential apartments. Villas maintain a solid secondary position, especially in the Ready market. Commercial and hospitality assets remain niche, reflecting cautious corporate and investor appetite.
