Quarterly stats taken from Reidin– Please note we do not take any responsibility for the authenticity of the figures.
The above statistics show a very healthy number of transactions for Q1 2021 despite the current challenges faced with the Covid-19 pandemic both the volume and the value of transactions have jumped 50% from Q4 2020.
From analysing a number of different consultancies and reports the prices on the Palm have certainly turned with the market now being dictated by sellers. Dubai in general has witnessed the first quarter (Q1 2021) where prices have seen a rise since 2015.
Apartment sales make up the bulk of transactions with a number of high value transactions for the boutique developments such as Palme Couture, Royal Atlantis, One Palm and W Residences.
Buyers with budgets of 0m to 3m AED are dominating the secondary market with 66% of transactions. 30% of transactions were for 5m + AED which shows a very healthy demand for the luxury sector and a big increase from the previous quarters.
Villa and townhouse sales remained strong continuing from the Q4 2021 momentum, and prices saw a sharp increase compared to the previous quarters, villa prices in general have seen an increase of up to 40% since October 2020.
The villa market has always proven to have its own micro market and with so many transactions happening we are seeing price expectation increasing with the demand being higher than the current villa supply. This has been evident with both sales and rentals transactions.
The Standout transaction was for the sale of villa N100 which sold for record breaking 111,250m, the second most expensive villa ever sold on the palm and most expensive in terms of price per sqft.
The top 5 resales transactions alone equated to over 250m AED worth of transactions and overall 2.7 billion AED worth of transactions in Q1 - 2021 which is one of the highest recorded in recent times.
The Dubai real estate market in general continues to slowly recover in 2021, with total transaction volumes in Dubai, in the year to date to Q1 2021, increased by 12.1%, over the same period from last year. The Palm Jumeirah market is continuing to show a much faster recovery compared to many other key residential communities in Dubai, with average apartment and villa prices increasing by 8.5% and 6.6% respectively, in the year to March 2021 (Knight Frank Residential Report)
