How to read this ranking
The Market Demand Index blends six live signals — search demand, FX purchasing power, news/sentiment, property-type tilt, travel demand, and wealth — then re-weights them for Singapore and for plots. A higher MDI means a nationality is more likely to purchase this property type in this city in the near term, so it’s where marketing budget and broker effort tend to convert best.
Note: Rankings are modelled estimates of prospective buyer interest, derived from aggregated public demand signals (search, currency, travel, news and wealth indicators). They are not transaction records and are not sourced from, affiliated with, or endorsed by the Dubai Land Department (DLD), Saudi REGA, or any other government authority. Figures are aggregated and anonymized — never individual buyer data.
