Market Insights & Outlook
Flats remained the market’s principal driver, generating a combined AED1,142.24 million across off-plan and ready properties. This represented 83.5% of the day’s total transaction value.
Villas generated a combined AED156.45 million, contributing 11.4% of the market, largely supported by ready-property activity. Commercial properties accounted for AED61.62 million, or 4.5%, while hotel apartments and rooms contributed AED7.01 million, or 0.5%.
The narrow difference between off-plan and ready activity produced a relatively balanced overall market split. However, their internal structures differed significantly: off-plan transactions were highly concentrated in flats, while the ready segment benefited from a stronger villa contribution.
Overall, the day reflected robust apartment demand across both market segments, accompanied by meaningful end-user and investor activity in completed villas.
