Recent reports reveal that dubai ready home sales increased significantly during the third quarter of 2026. However, overall residential transactions remained steady while buyer preferences shifted toward completed properties. As a result, secondary market transactions reached 10,055 units during this active period. Meanwhile, a prominent property consultancy noted that completed homes now offer immediate occupancy and rental income. In addition, purchasers are increasingly avoiding off-plan developments in favor of established communities. Therefore, secondary sales accounted for 29 per cent of total residential sales.
Secondary Market Growth in Dubai
Furthermore, the total value of secondary market transactions reached Dh27.1 billion in the third quarter. For example, apartment sales within the secondary sector rose by 22 per cent to 7,879 units. Also, median prices for apartments softened slightly to Dh1,404 per square foot in September.

Rental Demand and Future Outlook
Meanwhile, the local rental sector recorded its highest quarterly level of leasing enquiries on record. However, median rents for apartments declined by 3.8 per cent between June and September. As a result, landlords must price their properties competitively to attract tenants. Nevertheless, experts predict that dubai ready home sales will remain strong in competitively priced communities. Therefore, market participants anticipate steady activity as the emirate enters the final quarter.
