Dubai residential off-plan real estate market trends

Overview

Dubai’s residential real estate market, particularly the off-plan sector, has demonstrated significant activity and investor confidence through the first half of 2026.

In the first half of the year, Damac Properties emerged as a leader in the primary residential market, reporting 15.6 billion dirhams in off-plan sales. This period was characterized by a shift among developers toward “precision-driven” land acquisition, prioritizing data-led decision-making and long-term customer needs over rapid expansion to protect margins.

By July 2026, the luxury segment specifically showed continued strength. Off-plan residential sales valued above AED 5 million totaled AED 3.42 billion. This luxury activity included both apartment and villa transactions, with an average deal value of AED 14 million, driven by the city’s international appeal and long-term market fundamentals.
