Ready property made up 4,907 deals worth AED 20.99 billion. The report was published on the last day of the month, so the final October count may be slightly higher.

03What it means if you are buying
Most deals are off-plan, but most of the money in October went to ready property. Off-plan homes tend to be sold in larger numbers at lower values, and ready sales here include buildings and land.
A monthly total also says little about any one building. Compare the price, handover date and payment plan of the homes you are looking at.
