Get home insurance that protects what you need
Standard home insurance doesn’t cover everything—floods, earthquakes, or coverage for valuable items like jewelry and art often require separate policies or endorsements. Switching over to a more customizable policy ensures you’re paying for what you really need. Use Money’s home insurance tool to find the right coverage for you.

Market Insights & Outlook
Liquidity eased marginally week-on-week (−0.8%), with activity counts also softer (−3.5%). The demand mix remains apartment-heavy across both Off-Plan (78% of segment value) and Ready (63%), while Business Bay led value traded in both segments, signaling persistent core-CBD appeal. Watch for continued depth in waterfront and Downtown-adjacent submarkets (Palm, Burj Khalifa, Creek Harbour) as developers time end-of-year launches and buyers lock pricing ahead of potential 2026 handovers.
