100%

100% of the area’s home sales in the last 12 months were for AED 2M or more (8 of 8). 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.
