Dubai Investment Park Second registered 2,905 apartment sales, and 91.5% were off-plan

Over the last 12 months the Dubai Land Department registered 2,905 apartment sale transactions in Dubai Investment Park Second, inside the AED 200,000 to AED 2.5 million band. Off-plan accounted for 91.5% of them. The median price paid was AED 1,165,440, and the median unit measured 74.2 sqm.

2,905 sales in a year is a real market. 91.5% off-plan tells you almost all of it came from developers, and that is the part to think through before you sign.

An off-plan share this high means that when you sell, you will most likely be competing with the developer still selling in the same area, not with other owners.

That competitor has advantages you do not. They offer a payment plan spread over years. They waive fees. They sell a building nobody has lived in, with a handover date that lets a buyer plan. You offer a finished apartment and ask to be paid now. Some buyers want exactly that certainty. Others will use the developer's terms to argue your price down.

There is a timing consequence too. Off-plan volume at this level arrives later as physical apartments, in waves. If your exit lands in the same quarter as a large handover nearby, you are selling into fresh stock while other individual owners try the same thing.

None of this makes the area a poor buy. It means the entry price has to carry the risk, and you should know the handover schedule around you before you commit rather than after.

Sales figures are registered Dubai Land Department transactions over the last 12 months, apartments only. Unit type counts cover the common types and do not sum to the total.

One bedroom units accounted for 2,205 of the transactions. Studios managed 313 and two bedroom units 378. That is an unusually narrow mix, and it matters.

It means the resale market you are joining is dominated by a single product. If you buy the one bedroom, you have the deepest pool of future buyers and also the most direct competition, because the unit next door is close to identical to yours. Price and condition will decide the sale, not layout.

If you buy the studio or the two bedroom, you are in a pool of a few hundred transactions a year. That is thin. Expect a longer sale, and pay a price that compensates you for the wait rather than assuming scarcity works in your favour.

The Land Department register records this community under two spellings, and each carries part of the year's activity. The 2,905 above merges both. A count drawn from one spelling alone understates the market.

Ask the developer, in writing, how many units remain unsold in your building and the ones beside it, and the handover quarter for each. Ask for the projected service charge per square foot and who set it. Then price your unit against registered transactions rather than the brochure.

A median of AED 1,165,440 is the midpoint of 2,905 deals. Plenty were better and plenty worse. The specific building, floor and contract price decide which side you land on.

Send us the project, the unit, the size and the price on the table. Oliva checks it against registered transactions in the same area, against the off-plan supply still due to hand over around it, and against the service charge, then tells you what we think it is worth and where the risk sits. Sometimes the answer is do not buy this one. Oliva is a Dubai brokerage with no paid placements, so no developer pays us to point you at a building. The underwriting costs you nothing.
