In February, 67 percent of overall transactions accounted for secondary/ready properties and 33 percent were for off-plan properties.
According the 12th edition of Mo’asher, Dubai’s official sales price index launched by Dubai Land Department in cooperation with Property Finder, Dubai’s real estate market recorded 3,787 sales transactions worth USD 2 billion in February 2021, which is 13.8 percent higher than in January 2021 in terms of volume and 8.9 percent higher in terms of value.
Thus, the year’s total, up until the end of February, amounts to 7,114 sales transactions worth USD 3.8 billion.
The index data, taken from the base year 2012, the base month for the monthly index January 2012 and the base quarter for the quarterly index Q1 2012, demonstrates that
Dubai’s real estate market continues its upwards trend. After a marginal dip in January, the index numbers are going up again.
In addition to that, starting from H2 2020, secondary/ready properties transactions were higher in terms of volume than off-plan properties. This trend continued into 2021, and the demand in the ready market continued to increase.
