The Residences 5, Downtown Dubai · by Emaar Properties
5, The Residences: a resale 1-bed sells for about AED 2.23m
Median of 6 resale 1-bed sales in the 12 months to 24 Oct 2026 (6 resale sales of all sizes). Last sale in the tower: 25 Sep 2026.
- The market says
- 6 resales of all sizes in 12 months at AED 2,118 per sq ft (-14% in a year); a higher price than 27% of Downtown Dubai towers; owners who sold gained 10.6% a year and 20% sold at a loss; 4 homes for sale now.
“Owners who sold in The Residences 5 made 10.6% a year, and 20% of them sold at a loss. A 1-bed gives a gross yield of about 5.2% on the median signed Ejari rent for a 1-bed in Downtown Dubai (AED 115,000 a year), against the median sold price. That is a steady record. I would buy for rent and a long hold, not for a quick resale.”

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 | Resale: per sq ft | Median asking | Asking over resale | Rent a year | Gross yield |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1-bed | AED 2,225,000 (6) | 2,118 | AED 2,400,000 (3) | +8% | AED 115,000 (6) | 5.2% |
| 2-bed | – (0) | – | – (0) | – | – (1) | – |
| 3-bed | – (0) | – | – (1) | – | – (0) | – |
| 4-bed | – (0) | – | – (0) | – | – (1) | – |
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 (0 of 58 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 (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.
Resale price per sq ft fell 14% in a year
Median AED 2,118 per sq ft in the last 12 months (6 resale sales, all sizes) against AED 2,462 in the 12 months before (12 resale sales, all sizes).

Adverts: one reading on 7 Oct 2026. Sold prices: resale sales in this tower in the last 12 months, 5 or more of the type. An advert has no unit number, so we compare the price per sq ft with the type, not with the same unit. An asking price is not a sale price. Days listed is from the date on the advert: an agent can place a home again as a new advert, so the real time for sale can be longer. 1 adverts have the same type, size and price as another advert: they are probably the same home with a second agent. We cannot show price cuts over time or the time to sell yet: these need more than one reading.
