Off-Plan Market Performance
Total Value: AED723.57 million
Share of Total Market: 57.7%
Flats remained the largest component of the off-plan market, generating AED424.67 million and accounting for 58.7% of the segment.
The standout feature, however, was commercial property, which contributed a substantial AED200.86 million, equivalent to 27.8% of all off-plan activity. Villas added AED95.60 million, or 13.2%, while hotel apartments and rooms represented just 0.3%.
The distribution shows that while apartments continued to lead, off-plan activity was considerably less concentrated in flats than on many trading days, with commercial property providing a meaningful second source of transaction value.
Ready Market Performance
Total Value: AED529.64 million
Share of Total Market: 42.3%
Flats dominated ready-market transactions, reaching AED348.38 million and accounting for 65.8% of the segment.
Villas were the second-largest category at AED127.42 million, contributing 24.1%, meaning flats and villas together represented almost 90% of ready-market transaction value.
Commercial properties generated AED45.52 million, or 8.6%, while hotel apartments and rooms contributed AED8.33 million, representing 1.6%.
Market Insights & Outlook
Apartments remained Dubai’s principal transaction driver, generating a combined AED773.05 million across the off-plan and ready markets, equivalent to 61.7% of total transaction value.
Commercial properties were the second-largest combined category at AED246.38 million, representing 19.7% of the market, largely due to the unusually strong AED200.86 million contribution from off-plan commercial transactions.
Villas generated a combined AED223.02 million, or 17.8% of total activity, while hotel apartments and rooms accounted for AED10.77 million, or 0.9%.
Overall, the day reflected a market firmly led by off-plan transactions, but with a broader category mix than an apartment-dominated session would suggest. Strong off-plan commercial activity provided additional depth, while the ready market remained primarily driven by apartments and villas. The separate AED654.40 million in land transactions further highlights significant activity beyond the conventional off-plan and ready property segments.
