April recorded 21 transactions across the community, up 5% on March's 20 and representing a second consecutive month of strong activity. Volume was broad-based: Aura Gardens led with 7 sales (−30% MoM by volume), followed by Harmony (4, +100% MoM), Elan (3, flat MoM), Aura Twin Villas (3, +50% MoM), and Amara Twin Villas (3, +200% MoM), with a single Alaya Gardens Haven completing the month's activity. Elan returned to meaningful activity with positive pricing momentum on both 3BR (+14.18% MoM) and 4BR (+5.03% MoM) configurations. Pricing trends were broadly resilient: Harmony posted strong YoY gains across its 4BR and 5BR tiers, while modest MoM price softening appeared in Aura, Aura Gardens, and Amara. The ultra-premium tier — Alaya, Alaya Beach, Serenity Mansion, Elysian Mansion — recorded no transfers, consistent with prior months.

Aura & Aura Gardens
Aura's Twin Villa average dipped −12.12% MoM to AED 6.28M, though the community remains 5.16% ahead year-on-year — a healthy position. The MoM price softening reflects deals delayed by regional tensions now registering at the land department, rather than any structural shift in demand. Aura Gardens recorded 7 sales (−30% MoM by volume) across two configurations. The modest price softening across both configurations is consistent with a broader reopening dynamic — buyers re-engaging at slight concessions — rather than a fundamental re-pricing of the community.
Harmony
Harmony posted strong YoY gains on two of its four configurations. The 4BR rose +31.40% YoY (AED 10.85M, ~AED 2,701/sq ft) and the standard 5BR gained +20.56% YoY (AED 11.80M, ~AED 2,938/sq ft). The 5BR Large, with two transactions in the range AED 12M–15.5M, averaged AED 13.75M. The MoM softening (−16.67%) reflects the difference in location for each property rather than a pricing trend. At ~AED 3,423/sq ft, the 5BR Large remains Harmony's most premium per-sq-ft offering. Buyers continue to move up the configuration ladder, confirming Harmony's status as the community's primary end-user anchor.
Alaya & Alaya Gardens
Alaya Gardens' Haven unit at AED 11M (~AED 2,739/sq ft) was effectively flat YoY (−0.15%), signalling price stability in this sub-community. With Alaya's June 2026 handover now approaching, buyers who have been holding positions are likely to remain patient in the near term. As handover becomes imminent, a renewed uptick in activity is expected — particularly from end-users finalising upgrade decisions.
Amara
Amara's average price eased −20.79% MoM to AED 8.32M; however, volume tripled (+200% MoM) from 1 to 3 transactions — a clear signal of renewed buyer appetite at a slightly adjusted price point. This pattern is consistent with a market-reopening dynamic: buyers who had been waiting are re-engaging, with sellers offering modest concessions to attract liquidity. At ~AED 2,070/sq ft, Amara Twin Villas remain well-positioned ahead of their early 2027 handover.
Elysian Mansion & Serenity Mansion
Elysian Mansion and Serenity Mansion recorded no transactions in April. Both communities remain in a holding pattern as access and viewings remain constrained. The March Parklane transfer at AED 21.50M demonstrated genuine buyer interest when conditions permit; once full access is restored, activity is expected to move quickly.
Notable Sales
Key Takeaways
Volume held firm — 21 deals, +5% MoM
A second consecutive month of consistent activity, though volume remains approximately 30% down YoY — largely a function of ready-property availability rather than demand softness. Activity was broad-based across handed-over sub-communities (Aura Gardens, Harmony, Elan, Aura Twin Villas), a positive signal of sustained, community-wide demand rather than activity concentrated in a single pocket.
Aura and Aura Gardens — 10 of 21 transactions
Pricing softened modestly MoM (Aura −12.12%, Aura Gardens −1.43%), which should be read as volume-driven normalisation rather than a structural shift. YoY, Aura remains +5.16% — a healthy benchmark.
Harmony — strongest YoY pricing performance in the community
The 4BR rose +31.40% YoY and the standard 5BR gained +20.56% YoY. The 5BR Large recorded two transactions (avg AED 13.75M, ~AED 3,423/sq ft), broadly in line with prior year levels. All four Harmony configurations transacted this month, confirming broad-based end-user demand across the product range.
Amara — volume tripled (+200% MoM, 3 transactions)
Buyers re-engaged at a modestly adjusted price point (AED 8.32M avg, −20.79% MoM). At ~AED 2,070/sq ft, Amara Twin Villas remain well-valued ahead of their early 2027 handover.
Elysian Mansion and Serenity Mansion — no transactions in April
Access constraints remain the primary headwind. The March Parklane transfer at AED 21.50M signals latent buyer demand; once viewings can be conducted fully, activity is expected to materialise quickly.
Alaya Gardens — single Haven sale at AED 11M (−0.15% YoY)
~AED 2,739/sq ft. With Alaya's June 2026 handover imminent, buyer interest is expected to sharpen in the near term as owners and investors make final decisions.
