What the Al Hebiah Sixth gap means
Across 642 sampled sales in Al Hebiah Sixth, off-plan carries a median of 15,073 AED/sqm against 15,043 AED/sqm for ready stock. That puts the off-plan median roughly 0% above ready units.

Comparing within a single area removes most of the location mix effect that distorts the citywide figure, but not all of it: off-plan launches inside Al Hebiah Sixth may still skew toward newer towers or larger layouts than the resale stock they are measured against. Narrow further by unit type before treating this as a like-for-like premium.
Off-plan (57% of sampled transactions here) is bought from a developer before or during construction, typically on a payment plan, carrying handover and delivery risk. Ready property (43%) is an existing unit that can be inspected and let immediately.
