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 Dubai Investment Park Second 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 (74% 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 (26%) is an existing unit that can be inspected and let immediately.
