April recorded 21 transactions across Tilal Al Ghaf, down 19% on March's 26 and the second consecutive monthly decline. Volume has now fallen from February's 36 to 26 to 21, though the rate of decline is easing each month. Aura Gardens led again with seven sales, followed by Elan, Aura and Amara with three apiece and Harmony with four across Phases 1 and 3. Elan fell back sharply from March's eight, which is the main source of the month's decline. Harmony 1's 4BR reached AED 10.85M, its highest print of the year, and its 5BR was 22.92% ahead year-on-year. Amara tripled its volume at a lower average, and Alaya Gardens contributed a single Haven sale. The mansion tier recorded no transfers.
Transaction Volume
| Sub-Community | Sales | MoM Change |
|---|---|---|
| Aura Gardens | 7 | −30% |
| Elan | 3 | −63% |
| Aura | 3 | +50% |
| Amara | 3 | +200% |
| Harmony 1 | 2 | No change |
| Harmony 3 | 2 | 0 → 2 |
| Alaya Gardens | 1 | No change |
Elan
Elan fell back to three sales from March's eight, with the 4BR up 5.03% and the 3BR easing 4.85%. March was an outlier for Elan at eight transactions, roughly double its normal run rate, so April's three is a return to the community's usual level rather than a deterioration. The 4BR strengthened to an AED 4.525M average across two sales between AED 4.25M and AED 4.80M; the single 3BR at AED 3.85M came back 4.85% from March's high. Both configurations remain exactly flat year-on-year, which continues the pattern across the whole of the first four months. For buyers looking at Tilal Al Ghaf for the first time, that stability is the point: Elan is the community where the price you see is the price the market has settled on.
Aura & Aura Gardens
Aura and Aura Gardens accounted for 10 of the month's 21 sales, with pricing easing modestly after March's gains. Both communities gave back a little of March's movement. Aura Gardens 3BR eased 3.83% and the 4BR 1.43%, while Aura Twin Villas came back 12.12% from an AED 7.15M average to AED 6.283M. Against that, Aura Gardens remains 8.38% ahead year-on-year and Aura 5.16% ahead. The monthly softening is best read as normalisation after a strong March rather than a change in direction. March's Aura average was set by two sales at the upper end of the range; April's three sales traded in a much tighter AED 6.15M to AED 6.35M band, which is closer to where the community has consistently transacted. Tight ranges on higher volume are usually a better indicator of true market level than a high average on thin volume. Aura Gardens Twin Villas recorded no transfers after three in March.
Harmony
The Harmony 1 4BR at AED 10.85M is the highest 4BR price recorded in Tilal Al Ghaf this year, up 10.71% on the month. Harmony 1 delivered both of the month's strongest data points: a 4BR at AED 10.85M and a 5BR at AED 11.80M, the latter 22.92% ahead year-on-year. As the earliest Harmony phase to complete, Harmony 1 has the longest trading history in the community, and these figures show where that has taken it. The two Harmony 3 5BR Large sales at AED 12.00M and AED 15.50M illustrate how much plot position, landscaping and internal condition matter within a single layout. A AED 3.5M spread on the same product is not a pricing signal, it is a reminder that within Harmony the specific home matters more than the configuration. The average of AED 13.75M sits fractionally below the same point last year. Harmony 2 recorded no transfers after transacting in each of the previous three months.
Alaya & Alaya Gardens
The Alaya Gardens Haven at AED 11.00M was effectively flat year-on-year, at −0.15%. Flat is the right outcome for this tier at this point. Stability while a community is still under construction is a healthier signal than volatility in either direction. Alaya itself recorded no transfers for a second consecutive month. Owners here have largely completed their payment schedules and are holding rather than selling into the current climate. I would expect that to change once buyers can walk the finished product, which is the point where Tilal Al Ghaf communities have historically seen both volume and pricing move.
Amara
Amara volume tripled to three sales while the average came back 20.79% from March's single high print. The two figures need reading together. March's AED 10.50M was one transaction and the highest recorded in Amara this year; April's three sales traded in a tight AED 8.20M to AED 8.40M band. The tighter range across more transactions is the better read of where Amara actually sits, and at 0.20% year-on-year the community is essentially level over twelve months. Three sales in a month for a community still under construction remains a strong signal. At roughly AED 1,663 per sq ft, Amara continues to offer the most accessible per-foot entry into the newer product in Tilal Al Ghaf.
Elysian Mansion, Serenity Mansion & Lanai Islands
The mansion tier recorded no transfers in April, following an Elysian Maia in March and an AED 52M Elysian Muse in January. The constraint remains access. Both Elysian and Serenity are in a holding pattern while viewing access and construction progress limit what buyers can properly assess. The January and March Elysian transfers demonstrate there is genuine demand when conditions permit. This is the segment I am watching most closely through the second half of the year. Once buyers can walk these homes and see the finished landscaping, views and build standard, I expect activity to move quickly, and the AED 52M January print gives a clear indication of where the ceiling sits.
Notable Sales
Key Takeaways
Volume eased to 21 deals, down 19% on March
A second consecutive monthly decline, from 36 in February to 26 to 21, though the rate of decline is easing. Seven sub-communities transacted, all of them completed or close to it.
Harmony 1 set the year's highest 4BR price
AED 10.85M, up 10.71% on the month, alongside a 5BR at AED 11.80M and 22.92% year-on-year. As the earliest phase to complete, Harmony 1 has the longest trading history in the community.
Aura and Aura Gardens eased after a strong March
Ten of the 21 sales. Pricing came back modestly, but April's tighter ranges on higher volume are a better read of true market level than March's higher averages on thin volume. Both remain positive year-on-year.
Amara tripled volume at a tighter price band
Three sales between AED 8.20M and AED 8.40M, against March's single AED 10.50M. Year-on-year the community is level. Three transfers in a community still under construction remains a strong demand signal.
Elan came back from an outlier March
Three sales against March's eight, with the 4BR up 5.03% and the 3BR easing 4.85%. Both configurations remain exactly flat year-on-year, making Elan the most reliable reference point in the masterplan.
Within Harmony, the specific home matters more than the layout
Two Harmony 3 5BR Large villas traded at AED 12.00M and AED 15.50M in the same month. Plot position, landscaping and condition account for the AED 3.5M spread.
The mansion tier stayed quiet on access, not demand
No transfers across Elysian, Serenity or Lanai Islands. January's AED 52M Elysian Muse and March's Maia both show demand exists when viewing is possible.
