    Dubai's residential property market logged 2,967 sales worth AED 6.61B over the past week, with off-plan homes accounting for 69% of transactions and ready (secondary) property the remaining 31%.

    Buyers committed AED 3.55B across 2,044 off-plan deals versus AED 3.05B over 923 ready-home transactions, and the citywide median came in at AED 1,690 per square foot — a useful yardstick when weighing asking prices this week. The week's standout transaction was a AED 125.0M sale at Palm Jumeirah.

    On a 30-day price-per-square-foot basis, Jumeirah Second leads at AED 8,883/sqft (+203.5% month-on-month). Prices are firming in Jumeirah Second, Bluewaters Island, Jumeirah First, while Dubai Marina eased over the month. These shifts help buyers spot where value is holding and where negotiating room may be opening up.

    Developers added 5 new off-plan projects to the Dubai pipeline this week, including EIRA Residence in Dubai Production City, Aristo Residence in Dubai South, Alfulaiti Residence at DLRC, Dubai in DubaiLand Residence Complex (DLRC), Wadi Al Safa 5. Early-release pricing and staged payment plans on new launches like these are a key reason off-plan continues to capture the majority of buyer demand across the emirate.

    What this means for buyers & investors

    For buyers, an off-plan-led market keeps entry prices and payment plans flexible, and the AED 1,690/sqft median is a fair benchmark for judging value. Investors tracking Jumeirah Second should weigh the upward price trend against achievable rental yields before committing.
