About
We advise on Dubai property, and we publish the numbers behind the advice.
Luxury Located is a property brokerage working across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Ras Al Khaimah. Most of the people we work with are buying from another country, and most of what they buy is off-plan: money committed to a building that is not finished yet, on a payment plan that runs for years.
That is a large decision to make about a place you may have visited twice. So this page starts with who we are, before it gets to what we think of the market.
The person you deal with
Luxury Located was founded by Balazs Harcsa. He advises buyers directly on project selection, payment plans and handover timing, and he writes the market research published on this site under his own name, which is a decision about accountability more than it is about bylines.
An enquiry sent from this site comes to us. It is not sold on to anyone, and it is not dropped into a pool for a floor of agents to work through. The site itself is published in English, Hungarian, Russian and German.

Why trust an off-plan purchase to us
Most of the protection in a Dubai off-plan purchase is structural, not personal. Buyer money goes into a RERA-regulated escrow account under Law No. 8 of 2007, and the developer can only draw against verified construction progress. The title registers with the Dubai Land Department in the buyer’s name. None of that changes depending on which brokerage you use, and any broker implying otherwise is selling you reassurance you already have.
What does depend on us is everything upstream of it: which developer, which project, which payment plan, and whether the handover quarter on the brochure is plausible. That is where a broker is either worth having or worth nothing, and it is the part you cannot judge from the brochure itself.
So we made it judgeable before you speak to anybody.
What we can see, and how to check it
We maintain a catalogue of 2,879 publicly marketed off-plan projects from 577 developers, last updated 1 September 2026. It is not a document kept to one side for pitches. It is the record every project page, every price and every payment plan on this site is read from, which means you are looking at it already.
Then we published what it says. Five reports, free to read and free to cite, with the sample size printed beside every figure and the thin rows suppressed rather than filled in:
- Dubai Off-Plan Supply by AreaWhich Dubai communities carry the most off-plan projects, and what entry prices look like in each.
- Dubai Off-Plan Handover PipelineConfirmed handover dates by quarter and year, including how strongly completions cluster in Q4 and December.
- Dubai Off-Plan Entry PricesThe distribution of published starting prices across the Dubai off-plan market, and the cheapest and most expensive communities to buy into.
- Dubai Developer Market ShareWhich developers hold the largest share of tracked off-plan projects, their live pipelines and sell-out rates.
- Dubai Off-Plan Payment Plan NormsWhat down payment, construction-phase and handover splits developers actually offer, measured across the catalogue.
First published 30 July 2026 and recomputed as the catalogue updates. Alongside them sits the Dubai Off-Plan Index, a median asking price per square foot by community and by developer, with the number of projects behind each row.
Very little original data gets published in this market. Most of what circulates is a developer’s press release with a different logo on it. That is the honest reason our read on a project differs from the next brokerage’s, and it is the one claim on this page you can verify without contacting us at all.

How to start
There is no qualification step. If you already know what you are looking at, send the project name and we will tell you what the catalogue says about it, including the parts that do not flatter it. If you do not, describe the outcome you want and the budget you want it inside, and we will come back with a shortlist and the reasoning.
