Is the JVC/Arjan off-plan ROI (8-9%) actually realistic in 2026?
I’ve been looking at several new off-plan launches in JVC, Arjan, and Dubai South recently, and I keep seeing these 8-9% ROI projections being quoted everywhere. As a potential buyer, I’m honestly struggling with the logic here. With so many boutique towers being built at the same time, isn't the supply in these specific districts getting too high to sustain those numbers? I’m worried about the secondary market value in 2-3 years.
To those who have actually pulled the trigger and bought off-plan in the last 12 months: what was your main deciding factor? Was it a specific payment plan (like the 60/40 or 70/30 post-handover structures), the specific plot location, or do you actually trust these mid-sized developers to deliver on time and with the quality promised in the renders?
I’m especially concerned about the communication "black hole" that seems to happen after the initial deposit is paid. It’s 2026—why is it still so hard to get a simple construction update or a site photo? Do you guys actually get regular milestones and transparency, or is it just radio silence from the developer once the SPA is signed? Would love some honest feedback before I commit my capital.
