Is buying off-plan in Dubai risky in the current market?
Off-plan offers lower entry prices and payment plans but carries more cycle risk in 2026-27 as heavy supply completes. Handover delays are common - only about 48% of 2026's forecast units may deliver on schedule. Buyers are advised to favour reputable developers and supply-constrained locations, and to check that price matches value, since resale margins narrow when many units hand over together.
Figures here are indicative as of July 2026 and set by third parties (government, banks, developers) — confirm the current amount before relying on it.
