Median ready price
The median price per sq ft of the ready homes sold in the last 12 months: half sold for more, half for less, so one unusual sale moves it little. Plots and whole buildings are left out; off-plan sales are counted apart.

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: 1 year 79% · 3 years 79%.

Off-plan or ready.
Off-plan premium, same home type
Apartment · 2 beds: off-plan homes sold at 158.6% above ready ones per sq ft in the last 12 months (3,933 AED/sqft against 1,521 AED/sqft, medians of 59 and 20 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 · Off-plan sales: AED 3,260–4,257 per sq ft (AED 2,567,000–3,568,000), 88 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.
