2, South Ridge: an apartment sold for about AED 1,920 per sq ft in 2025
Median of 16 apartment sales in 2025, median price AED 2,080,000. Source: Dubai Land Department register, to 12 Feb 2026. 8 market sales in the 12 months to 24 Oct 2026; 84 sales on record since 2020. That is too few for a home price.
- The market says
- 8 resales of all sizes in 12 months at AED 1,989 per sq ft (-3% in a year); a higher price than 18% of Downtown Dubai towers; owners who sold gained 18.2% a year and 0% sold at a loss; 1 home for sale now.
“Owners who sold in South Ridge 2 made 18.2% a year, and none of the 12 on record sold at a loss. Few homes are for sale against the pace of sales, so a home at the right price sells quickly. For me that is a strong record for Downtown Dubai. Pay for the right view and layout.”

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.
| Type | Resale: sold | Median asking | Rent a year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-bed | under 5 (4) | – (1) | AED 110,000 (3) |
| 2-bed | under 5 (4) | – (0) | – (2) |
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 (1 of 84 here): bulk transfers, meaning 5 or more completed homes sold within two days at prices per sq ft within 25% of each other (0); a sale at exactly the same price as that unit's sale before (1); 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.
Resale price per sq ft fell 3% in a year
Median AED 1,989 per sq ft in the last 12 months (8 resale sales, all sizes) against AED 2,049 in the 12 months before (12 resale sales, all sizes).
Bars: median AED per sq ft by quarter. Blue line and blue numbers under the bars: number of sales in the quarter. Last 16 quarters at most. Grey bars have fewer than 3 sales.
What owners made: +18.2% a year, 0% sold at a loss
12 owners bought a home in South Ridge 2 and sold it again as a completed home 6 months or more later. Half of them held it for 2.3 years or more. A gain is the change in the price for each year held, before fees, service charge and rent.
By unit type, and bought off-plan or completed
| Unit type | Gain a year | Sold at a loss | Owners |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-bed | +18.8% | 0% | 9 |
| Bought as | Gain a year | Sold at a loss | Owners |
|---|---|---|---|
| Completed | +18.2% | 0% | 12 |
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.
Every sale since 2020: 84 sales of 69 units
Newest first. Each sale is marked Resale or Off-plan. The last column shows the change from the same unit's sale before.
