Last 12 months. Medians of at least 5 registered sales or new rent contracts; the median price of all sales mixes ready and off-plan. Gross yield is the median new yearly rent over the ready median price, shown where a home type has at least 10 ready sales and 5 new rents (“rent only” otherwise), before service charges and other costs.

Off-plan or ready.

Off-plan premium, same home type

Apartment · 1 bed: off-plan homes sold at 7.4% above ready ones per sq ft in the last 12 months (1,996 AED/sqft against 1,859 AED/sqft, medians of 10 and 95 sales).

Same home type, not the same buildings: off-plan stock is often newer, so the gap is not a forecast of resale prices. Not investment advice. How this is worked out

The middle half of prices

Middle half of Apartment · 1 bed · Ready sales: AED 1,828–2,058 per sq ft (AED 1,400,000–1,600,000), 95 sales in the last 12 months. The full spread by home type is in the area report.

A quarter of these sales were below the band and a quarter above it. Registered sales, not a valuation. How this is worked out

Ready turnover, last 12 months

Sales of AED 2M or more.

40.1%

40.1% of the area’s home sales in the last 12 months were for AED 2M or more (67 of 167). Dubai: 32.9%.

AED 2M is the minimum total property value for the UAE’s 10-year Golden Residence (golden visa) for real-estate investors, according to ICP and GDRFA Dubai (rules checked on 5 November 2026). This count shows registered sale prices only; the authorities decide each application on their own conditions, such as the owner’s share, how the value is certified and how the home is financed.
