47.83Â billion AED (or 13.03Â billion USD) in total sales value. Making an impressive 40.82% increase from August last year, the market maintains its demand pace during the summer.
66% of total sales transactions volume was for off-plan properties, making a 41.2% increase compared to the same time last year.
Transactions with ready properties had an overall proportion of 34% of total real estate market sales volume for the month. This presented a 1.4% increase compared to same month last year.
Buying off-plan vs ready properties have always different value propositions for each property investor type.
Ready properties offer immediate returns through rental income and provide transparency for buyers, especially in prime locations with high rental yields.
Off-plan properties attract investors due to lower prices upon project launch, flexible payment plans depending on the downpayment, potential capital gains, continuous population growth which is expected to absorb the future supply, a business-friendly environment, and strong buyer protection laws.
The percentage share of overall transactions volume by asset class* for August is a follows:
Apartments 70 %
Villas and Townhouses 12 %
Commercial properties 2 %
Land plots 8 %
