Seasonality
Dubai's transaction volume dips in July and August while residents travel. Sellers in DIFC are measurably more flexible in that window, and again in the two weeks around year end.
Launch cycles
New DIFC launches price below comparable ready stock, then reprice upward across phases. Buying phase one and reselling near handover has historically delivered 15–30% in this part of Dubai.
