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 | Rent a year |
|---|---|---|
| 1-bed | under 5 (3) | – (0) |
| 2-bed | under 5 (2) | – (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 (3 of 34 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 (3). They stay in the list below with a label.
Resale price per sq ft fell 1% in a year
Median AED 2,156 per sq ft in the last 12 months (5 resale sales, all sizes) against AED 2,176 in the 12 months before (5 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.
