Tilal Al Ghaf — Market Review, H1 2026
Published 18 July 2026. A 10-page review built on 153 registered Land Department sales totalling AED 1.45 billion, 2 January to 15 July. The February conflict repriced the community by 7.3% — but not evenly: the premium tier fell 20.6% while ready family stock fell 1–3%.

Asking prices are never treated as sold prices.
