How do I negotiate my first deal - how much discount can I ask?
Room to negotiate is real: in 2026 many resale deals closed roughly 5-12% below asking, more on long-listed or distressed units. Off-plan is less flexible on headline price, but developers throw in waived DLD fees, extended payment plans or furniture packages. Come armed with recent sold-price comparables — summer and year-end often bring more flexible sellers.
Figures here are indicative as of July 2026 and set by third parties (government, banks, developers) — confirm the current amount before relying on it.
