James Paul Booth
The agent's view
“Bay Square (8 towers) had 37 resales in the 12 months to 20 Oct 2026 at about AED 1,430 per sq ft, but too few owners have sold twice for me to quote a return. Few homes are for sale against the pace of sales, so a home at the right price sells quickly. I would price it from the last sale of the same layout, and I would not pay more for a promise.”

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 20 Oct 2026. Asking and rent = live listings on 7 Oct 2026. Counts are in brackets. A sold median needs 10 sales, an advert median 3 adverts.

Sold prices: Land Department sale records to 20 Oct 2026, BUY DUBAI facts cube. Asking and rent are adverts, not contracts.

Sales we leave out of every median, count and chart (7 of 18 here): bulk transfers, meaning 5 or more completed homes sold within two days at prices per sq ft within 25% of each other (7); 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 (0). They stay in the list below with a label.

On the plus side

Short lets: no Airbnb listing matched to this tower

Checked, not found. We read Airbnb on 9 Oct 2026 and no listing passed our test for Bay Square Building 8. 2 listings may be in this tower, but we could not confirm them. This does not mean short lets are not allowed.

Source: Airbnb listing pages, read 9 Oct 2026. A listing is one advert. One home can have more than one advert. No listing found does not mean short lets are not allowed.

Own a unit here?

Ask for a report on your unit: its sales history, the same type's sales in the last 12 months and the homes for sale against it. A licensed partner agent, named on the report with the registration number, sends it. BUY DUBAI is not a broker and takes no part in the sale.

Method, sources and what we did not find

  • Sales: unit-level Dubai Land Department sale records, 13 Dec 2022 to 19 Oct 2026, checked by year against Dubai Land Department open data. Our unit list does not hold every sale, so some sales are missing.
  • Listings: one snapshot, 7 Oct 2026. Asking prices and asking rents.
  • Short lets: Airbnb map search and listing pages for Business Bay, read 9 Oct 2026. A listing counts for a tower when two of these agree: the Dubai holiday-home permit code, the tower name in the listing, the map pin.
  • Residents and building facts: Google Maps reviews and guide pages (datahabibi.ae, drivenproperties.com, live adverts: community guide, propsearch.ae), read by an AI model on 21 Oct 2026 with a fixed question list. A script checks that each answer names its source.
  • Nobody visited the tower. Every fact is from a document, a map or a resident's review.
  • Checked, not found for this tower: a floor plan document, unit positions on a floor, the side and view of each unit.
