What the Jumeirah Second gap means
Across 111 sampled sales in Jumeirah Second, off-plan carries a median of 59,414 AED/sqm against 8,766 AED/sqm for ready stock — an off-plan median roughly 578% above ready units. Citywide the same comparison sits at +65%, so Jumeirah Second runs 513 percentage points wider than Dubai overall.
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 Jumeirah 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 (54% 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 (46%) is an existing unit that can be inspected and let immediately.
