The sales volume was predominantly driven by Residential properties, which accounted for the vast majority of transactions. While Off-Plan sales led in transaction count, the Ready property segment captured a significantly larger share of the total capital, indicating strong demand for completed assets. Freehold areas continued to be the overwhelming preference, commanding over 90% of the total transactional value. The market composition reveals a healthy diversity, with substantial contributions from high-value land and commercial deals complementing the residential core.
