Why
  • 1Y appreciation +12.0% beats the UAE average of ~6% YoY.
  • Healthy liquidity: 941 transactions in the latest snapshot.
Risks
  • Premium pricing (36% above cohort) — growth may already be priced in.
  • High off-plan share (96%) — handover supply could pressure rents/prices over the next 24 months.
