Question 1

How much do properties cost in Dubai?

Accepted Answer

The median registered sale price for properties in Dubai is AED 1.99M, across 852 transactions registered with the Dubai Land Department. The average is AED 2.19M; the median is the more useful figure because it is not skewed by a handful of very large deals.

Question 2

How many sales were registered in Dubai?

Accepted Answer

852 sales in Dubai match the current filters. Volume is down 0.0% against the same period last year. Every row comes from the DLD register, so off-market and unregistered deals are not included.

Question 3

Are property prices rising in Dubai?

Accepted Answer

Year on year, the median price is up 19.0% and price per sqft is up 4.1%. That is measured on registered sales in Dubai, not on asking prices, so it reflects what buyers and tenants actually paid.

Question 4

What is the price per square foot in Dubai?

Accepted Answer

Registered sales in Dubai average AED 1,537 per sqft. Price per sqft is the fairest way to compare two areas, because it strips out how big the homes happen to be.

Question 5

Is Dubai mostly off-plan or ready property?

Accepted Answer

48% of registered sales in Dubai are off-plan and 52% are ready, from 1,302,584 deals where the DLD records the type. Ready homes trade at about 52% more per square metre than off-plan.

Question 6

What does a one-bedroom cost in Dubai?

Accepted Answer

By size, registered sales in Dubai come out at Studio: AED 16,198, 1 B/R: AED 16,043, 2 B/R: AED 17,322, 3 B/R: AED 16,110. These are medians of real registered sales, so they move as the market moves.

Question 7

Which areas of Dubai have the most sales?

Accepted Answer

By registered volume: Dubai Marina (102,663), Business Bay (94,884), Al Barsha South Fourth (90,478), Jumeirah Lakes Towers (71,205), Downtown Dubai (53,816). Volume is not the same as value, and a busy area is usually one with a lot of apartment stock rather than the most expensive one.

Question 8

Where does this Dubai transaction data come from?

Accepted Answer

Every sale on this page is a record registered with the Dubai Land Department. We remove clear outliers and duplicate registrations, so totals can differ slightly from the raw DLD file. We publish no estimates and no asking prices, only deals that completed and were registered.
