Price change
How much the median ready price per sq ft changed. It is worked out home type by home type (class and bedrooms) and weighted by each type’s sales now, so a shift from studios to villas does not read as a change in price.
3 months: the last 3 months against the same months a year before, so a turn in the market shows sooner. 1 year: the last 12 months against the 12 months before. 3 years: the last 12 months against the 12 months that ended three years earlier.
Dubai: the same change for the whole of Dubai, worked out the same way, to read the area against.
5 years: the area report adds the change over 5 years and the yearly growth rate.
A home type counts only with at least 5 ready sales in both periods. Share of the ready sales in the home types compared: 3 months 99% · 1 year 100% · 3 years 100%.

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 78.9% above ready ones per sq ft in the last 12 months (3,699 AED/sqft against 2,068 AED/sqft, medians of 233 and 991 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.
The middle half of prices
Middle half of Apartment · 1 bed · Ready sales: AED 1,512–2,949 per sq ft (AED 1,293,000–2,450,000), 991 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.
Off-plan to ready, around completion
For 12 of the 16 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 22.9% above its off-plan price per sq ft in the 12 months before.
Dubai’s price index rose by 9.9% 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.
