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 102.8% above ready ones per sq ft in the last 12 months (1,890 AED/sqft against 932 AED/sqft, medians of 1,978 and 614 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 1,513–3,026 per sq ft (AED 1,127,000–1,987,000), 1,978 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

Off-plan to ready, around completion

For 12 of the 22 projects in this area completed between 2021 and 2025 (DLD project register), the median project’s ready price per sq ft in the 12 months after completion was 17.9% above its off-plan price per sq ft in the 12 months before.

Dubai’s price index rose by 7.4% over the same months (the median across these projects).

Dubai’s counted projects completed in those years, worked out the same way: 14.4% above.

This is history, not a forecast. These projects were completed in years when Dubai prices were rising, and the earliest windows start in the 2020–21 low. Only completed projects with at least 10 registered sales in each window count, and a project needs the full 12 months after completion first: one completed within the last 12 months is in the total but not yet counted. Projects not yet completed or cancelled are not included. DLD records do not separate a developer’s own sales from resales by earlier buyers, and the two windows cover different homes and unit mixes. The step and the index move are context for each other, not a difference to subtract: each is a median across the projects. Registered sale prices only, before fees, payment-plan terms, financing, service charges and rent: registered sales, not a valuation, and not investment advice. How this is worked out

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.
