Ready or off-plan? They are not the same price
Off-plan in Al Barsha First register about 54% above ready, per square foot. Most places publish one blended figure, which is nobody’s actual market.
Ready

Median AED 987,500 · 28 registered sales
Off-plan
AED 1,800/sqft
Median AED 2.81M · 73 registered sales
Blended, the way it is usually published: AED 1,800/sqft across all 101 registered sales. Useful for a trend, misleading for a purchase.
We measured this across every community busy enough to test: off-plan versus ready in Dubai, and which actually costs more.
A gap does not mean one is overpriced. Off-plan stock skews towards newer developments and a payment plan has its own value. These are two markets, priced differently.
