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 21.1% above ready ones per sq ft in the last 12 months (2,775 AED/sqft against 2,292 AED/sqft, medians of 1,984 and 11 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 · Off-plan sales: AED 2,393–3,112 per sq ft (AED 2,078,000–2,618,000), 1,984 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

90.6% of the area’s home sales in the last 12 months were for AED 2M or more (3,964 of 4,377). Dubai: 33%.

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.
