The Dubai Market, Q3 2026
Our quarterly read on transactions, pricing and demand: AED 92.96 billion of sales across July, August and September, and what September rotating to ready stock tells us about Q4.
Q3 was the closest ready stock and off plan have run all year. Off plan held the lead through July and August, the way most of 2026 has gone, and then September flipped it hard enough to pull the whole quarter to within seven points of even.
We read that as optionality rather than weakness. A quarter that moves between off plan and ready without losing pace is a market giving buyers a reason to choose either side of the table.
Every figure is Dubai Land Department data through 30 September 2026, with the quarter derived from consecutive releases. Where a number is derived rather than published, we say so.
