How this snapshot was made.
What it covers
- The 653 off-plan projects on OffPlan Insider as at 14 November 2026, each verified with its developer.
- Entry prices are each developer's published starting price, not transaction prices.
- Payment plans, deposits and handover dates are as listed on each project page.
What it does not cover
- It is not the whole UAE market: projects we do not track are not included.
- It does not use Land Department transaction or resale data.
- Samples outside Dubai are small, so medians there can move with one launch.
