January recorded 29 transactions across Tilal Al Ghaf, down 42% on December. Volume eased from the year-end peak, but the month was notable for how widely activity was spread: eleven sub-communities transacted, from Elan at the entry point through to Elysian Mansion and Serenity Mansion at the top of the masterplan. Elan and Aura Gardens together accounted for 10 of the 29 sales, providing the bulk of the month's liquidity at the accessible end of the community. Harmony contributed six across all three phases, and Alaya recorded four, quadrupling its December volume. At the premium end, an Elysian Muse at AED 52M and a Serenity Ara at AED 32.59M kept the mansion tier visible.

Elan
Elan recorded five transactions, making it one of the two most active sub-communities of the month. The 4BR carried the volume with four sales in a tight AED 4.375M to AED 4.90M band, easing 3.28% month-on-month but flat against the same point last year. As the earliest handed-over cluster in Tilal Al Ghaf, Elan continues to do what it has done consistently: provide a completed, established and comparatively accessible entry into the community, with enough turnover to give buyers a reliable pricing reference.
Aura & Aura Gardens
Aura Twin Villas were the standout completed-segment figure at +25.65% year-on-year, followed by Aura Gardens 3BR at +23.10%. Aura Gardens recorded five sales across its 3BR and 4BR configurations, with no Twin Villa transfers. The 3BR moved up 3.86% on the month and remains the clearest year-on-year performer in the wider community, which is what you would expect from a recently handed-over cluster still finding its level. Aura Twin Villas traded twice across a wide AED 6.45M to AED 8.00M range, and the 25.65% annual gain is the more meaningful number here. Two sales is a small sample, but the direction has been consistent for several months.
Harmony
Harmony transacted across all three phases, six sales in total, holding its position as the community's primary completed end-user villa segment. The 4BR tier tells three different stories depending on phase. Harmony 1 at AED 8.70M was up 2.35% on the month and 7.96% on the year. Harmony 3 at AED 9.10M was up 7.69% year-on-year. Harmony 2's average of AED 5.05M sits well below both, and that is entirely a function of one transaction at AED 2.00M against another at AED 8.10M in the same tier. The AED 8.10M figure is the relevant comparable; the lower sale should not be read as a market price and the resulting 42.61% monthly move is an artefact of it. Harmony 3's 5BR Large at AED 14.95M, up 2.40%, is the cleanest premium data point in the phase and at roughly AED 2,633 per sq ft remains Harmony's strongest per-foot configuration.
Alaya & Alaya Gardens
Alaya recorded four sales, a fourfold increase on the prior month, and transacted across all three of its tiers. Haven moved up in both Alaya and Alaya Gardens, and the Retreat tier delivered the strongest annual figures anywhere in the community: Alaya Retreat at +32.26% and Alaya Gardens Retreat at +16.61%. These are the numbers to watch. Historically, pricing in Tilal Al Ghaf accelerates as a community approaches and then reaches completion, and the Retreat tier looks to be moving early. Alaya's Reserve at AED 25M and roughly AED 2,626 per sq ft sets the upper marker for the community outside the mansion tier.
Amara, Elysian Mansion & Serenity Mansion
The Elysian Muse at AED 52M is the largest single transaction of the month and the highest price recorded in that layout so far this year. At roughly AED 3,116 per sq ft it is also the strongest per-foot figure anywhere in Tilal Al Ghaf so far this year, which matters more than the headline number. It establishes a reference point for the Elysian mansion tier well ahead of full viewing access. Serenity Mansion's Ara at AED 32.59M is the community's first meaningful print of the year and, at an early stage of construction, sets an early marker for that scheme. Amara's two Twin Villa sales were up 11.71% on the month, continuing the pattern of conviction buying in a community still under construction.
Notable Sales
Key Takeaways
Volume eased to 29 deals, down 42% on December
A step down from the year-end peak, but the breadth of activity was the more important feature of the month. Eleven sub-communities transacted, spanning every price tier in the masterplan.
Elan and Aura Gardens carried the entry tier
Ten of the 29 sales came from the two most accessible completed communities. Both continue to provide the liquidity and pricing reference that the rest of the masterplan is measured against.
Aura Gardens 3BR up 23.10% year-on-year
Alongside Aura Twin Villas at +25.65%, this was the strongest annual performance in the completed segment, consistent with the pattern of price acceleration once a community completes.
Harmony transacted across all three phases
Six sales in total. Harmony 1 and Harmony 3 both posted positive 4BR movement. Harmony 2's average is distorted by a single AED 2.00M transaction and should not be read as a repricing of that tier.
Alaya quadrupled its volume
Four sales across Haven, Retreat and Reserve. The Retreat tier led on annual growth in both Alaya (+32.26%) and Alaya Gardens (+16.61%), which is the pattern to expect as a community approaches completion.
The mansion tier set a new per-foot benchmark
The Elysian Muse at AED 52M and roughly AED 3,116 per sq ft is the highest per-foot figure recorded in Tilal Al Ghaf this year. Serenity's Ara at AED 32.59M added a second reference point at the top of the market.
