Tilal Al Ghaf: March 2026 Market Report

31 March 20266 min read

March 2026 · Daniel Raphael, Senior Sales Consultant

March recorded a drop in transaction volume following February's strong rebound, with 10 deals recorded across the community — down 58.33% on February. Importantly, a substantial number of these transfers relate to contracts signed in February, prior to the recent regional conflict, and several newly signed agreements have experienced delays in the transfer registration process amid the current climate. Against this backdrop, pricing remained resilient, with most active segments posting meaningful MoM gains. Activity was led by Aura and Aura Gardens (five Twin Villa sales combined), while Harmony continued to transact in larger configurations, Amara posted a strong single sale, and Elysian Mansion welcomed its first recorded transfer of the year with a Parklane unit. Alaya and Serenity Mansion recorded no transfers this month.

Aura & Aura Gardens

Aura — Twin VillaAED 7.15M avg2 sales · AED 6.80M–7.50M · ~AED 1,994/sq ft +12.95% MoM · +19.17% YoY
Aura Gardens — Twin VillaAED 6.83M avg3 sales · AED 6.50M–7.20M · ~AED 1,906/sq ft +6.48% MoM

Aura and Aura Gardens together accounted for half the month's volume and delivered firm, upward pricing — reinforcing steady end-user demand for these established, ready-to-move offerings.

Aura Gardens' tight price range reflects a plateauing of values in the current community, which I'd expect to rise again as new facilities complete.

Harmony

Harmony — 4BRAED 9.80M1 sale · ~AED 2,440/sq ft +6.52% MoM · +17.81% YoY
Harmony — 5BR (Large)AED 16.50M1 sale · ~AED 2,906/sq ft +8.91% MoM

With single-sale data points, individual MoM moves should be treated as directional — but the direction is clear, with larger configurations continuing to attract premium buyers in a lived-in community.

Alaya & Alaya Gardens

AlayaNo transactions−100% MoM
Alaya Gardens — RetreatAED 18.00M1 sale · ~AED 2,197/sq ft

A quieter month for Alaya ahead of its June 2026 handover. The single Alaya Gardens Retreat at a healthy price level provides a positive early signal as buyer interest typically sharpens in the final approach to handover.

Many owners in this community have completed their payments through to handover and can therefore afford to hold for further capital appreciation, or simply wait until the current conflict resolves and buyers return to market.

Amara, Serenity Mansion & Elysian Mansion

Amara — Twin VillaAED 10.50M1 sale · ~AED 2,100/sq ft +24.26% MoM
Elysian Mansion — ParklaneAED 21.50M1 sale · ~AED 2,006/sq ft
Serenity MansionNo transactions

Amara's sharp price increase on its lone transaction reflects continued pre-handover conviction buying — the highest sale price achieved to date in this sub-community, driven by the rapid construction progress now visible on entering the community.

The Elysian Mansion Parklane sale marks the community's first transfer of the year. Once full access for viewings becomes possible, I expect transactions to move quickly and prices to rise; this price point reflects the current circumstances rather than the area's trajectory.

Key Takeaways

Volume moderated — 10 deals, −58% MoM

This should be read in context: many transfers stemmed from contracts signed in February before the escalation of regional tensions, while some recently signed deals have faced transfer delays. The lower count is largely a reflection of the conflict rather than a lack of demand — pricing has not dropped across the board, demonstrating resilient end-user demand.

Aura and Aura Gardens stood out

Solid combined volume and upward pricing momentum, reinforcing their appeal as core, established villa offerings.

Harmony's larger configurations held firm

Larger homes continued to attract premium buyers in a lived-in community environment.

Amara delivered a strong +24.26% MoM

A clear price increase despite lower volume — pre-handover conviction ahead of its early 2027 handover.

Elysian Mansion's first Parklane transfer

At AED 21.50M — a positive milestone. Improved access should unlock further activity as handover approaches.

Alaya Gardens recorded a Retreat sale

As we enter the key pre-handover window for Alaya (June 2026), buyer interest is expected to sharpen in the coming months.

Underlying strength persists

Tilal Al Ghaf continues to demonstrate pricing resilience even as transaction counts normalise after February's surge.
