What the Warsan Fourth gap means
Across 1,398 sampled sales in Warsan Fourth, off-plan carries a median of 11,678 AED/sqm against 8,455 AED/sqm for ready stock. That puts the off-plan median roughly 38% above ready units. Citywide the same comparison sits at +35%, so Warsan Fourth runs 3 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 Warsan Fourth 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 (41% 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 (59%) is an existing unit that can be inspected and let immediately.
