Off-Plan v’s Secondary Market

April/May 2018

As you can see below, the average price per sq ft of the Oqood registered (off plan) properties is considerably lower than the secondary market sales.

The figures speak for themselves, but in simple terms, if you buy off plan you will not be able to recoup your purchase price in today’s market.

If you are looking to buy, then a property in the secondary market will bring you an instant return and, potentially a profit in the near future, certainly quicker than if you buy off plan.

Please see the average sold price data for the last two months by area.  Please note that these prices are averages only, and I have removed the high luxury properties to give a more accurate price on the secondary market figures. If you require a more detailed valuation please reply to do this email.
