The agent's view this week
“Sales fell 0.7% this week, but one week is noise: over 90 days they are down only 2.3%, at 35,553 sales. Prices per square foot are flat over the same 90 days. The off-plan share fell from 72% to 65%, so the slowdown is in launches, not in ready homes. If I were buying now, I would start where prices have come off: Palm Jumeirah (-20%), Dubai Investment Park First (-17%), Palm Deira (-15%). If I were selling, I would price to the last 90 days of sales, not to the asking prices around me.”

What can I buy with…

Registered sales, last 6 months

Type a budget. You see the areas where homes of that size typically sold at or under it, with the entry price (the cheapest quarter of sales).

Apartments only. Typical = median of registered sales. Off-plan prices are developer prices before handover.

Should I buy?
