Ready or off-plan? They are not the same price

Ready
AED 4,167/sqft
Median AED 8.4M · 30 registered sales
Off-plan
AED 2,755/sqft
Median AED 2.98M · 79 registered sales
Blended, the way it is usually published: AED 2,960/sqft across all 109 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.
