Price ranges
The price range of AED 3 million to AED 5 million stood out as the top performer, experiencing a 4.5% growth and capturing a substantial market share of 16.7%. This remarkable growth can be attributed to the exceptional performance of two distinct projects: Rivana in The Valley, which achieved impressive sales in the high-end townhouse category at AED 984 per square foot, and Bayview at Emaar Beachfront, where sales of ultra-luxury apartments averaged AED 5,272 per square foot. In contrast, the price range of AED 10 million and above, which had reached an all-time high the previous month, saw a decline of 2.9%, dropping to 2.5%.
