Resale and off-plan prices by bedroom

Resale = a completed home sold on. Off-plan = a home sold before the tower is complete, by the developer or by an earlier buyer (a Land Department "delayed sell"). The two are different markets, so we never mix them in one price. Sold = median price of sales in the 12 months to 24 Oct 2026. Asking and rent = live listings on 7 Oct 2026. Counts are in brackets. A median needs 5 sales or 3 listings.

Rents in this table are asking rents (adverts). The yield in the headline is the signed Ejari rent divided by the median resale price, before service charge.

Sales we leave out of every median, count and chart (16 of 141 here): bulk transfers, meaning 5 or more completed homes sold within two days at prices per sq ft within 25% of each other (12); a sale at exactly the same price as that unit's sale before (0); a size more than 1.6 times the usual size for the recorded type, or a "studio" above 750 sq ft (4). They stay in the list below with a label.

Resale price per sq ft fell 3% in a year

Median AED 1,217 per sq ft in the last 12 months (9 resale sales, all sizes) against AED 1,251 in the 12 months before (14 resale sales, all sizes).

What owners made: +12.3% a year, 0% sold at a loss

28 owners bought a home in East 40 and sold it again as a completed home 6 months or more later. Half of them held it for 2.8 years or more. A gain is the change in the price for each year held, before fees, service charge and rent.

Round trips: the same unit number sold twice, bulk transfers and same-price transfers out, 5 or more owners for each line. Only owners who sold are counted: an owner who waits for a better price is not here. An owner who bought off-plan paid in stages, so the gain on the cash paid in is higher than the gain on the price. Dubai figures: 55,901 round trips by the same rule, all areas, to 24 Oct 2026.
