Construction progress: not found
We found no public progress record for this tower. Ask the developer for the latest inspection report from the Land Department.
Payment plan: not found
We checked the pages we hold for this tower and found no payment plan that passed our checks. We do not guess one. Ask the developer for the current plan.
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 22 Oct 2026. Asking and rent = live listings on 7 Oct 2026. Counts are in brackets. A median needs 5 sales or 3 listings.
| Type | Off-plan: sold | Off-plan: per sq ft | Median asking |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2-bed | AED 3,267,380 (6) | 2,484 | AED 3,000,000 (6) |
| 3-bed | – (0) | – | AED 8,542,664 (5) |
Rents are asking rents, not registered contracts. Yield = asking rent divided by the median resale price, before service charge.
Sales we leave out of every median, count and chart (0 of 6 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.
Too few off-plan sales to state a yearly change
6 off-plan sales in the last 12 months and 0 in the 12 months before. Each period needs at least 5.
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. Off-plan sales are 100% of all sales in this tower, so the early quarters show launch prices.
Every sale since 2025: 6 sales of 6 units
Newest first. Each sale is marked Resale or Off-plan. The last column shows the change from the same unit's sale before.
| Unit | Type | Sq ft | Price | AED per sq ft | Date | Market |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 701 | 2-bed | 1,237 | AED 2,848,026 | 2,302 | 25 Sep 2026 | Off-plan |

Sellers ask 7% less than buyers paid
11 homes are for sale in Marea Residences. The median advert asks 7% less per sq ft than the median off-plan sale of the same type in the last 12 months. 6 of 6 adverts ask the sold level or less. The median advert has been listed for 1 days; the oldest for 5 days.
| Type | For sale | Median asking | Asking per sq ft | Sold per sq ft (sales) | Asking over sold | Median time listed |

Adverts: one reading on 7 Oct 2026. Sold prices: off-plan 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. 4 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.
Mortgage: what Marea Residences costs a month
The tower is off-plan. A bank can lend at most 50% of the price of an off-plan home, and most buyers use the loan for the payment at handover. The rate starts at 3.99%, the most common 3-year fixed rate in two bank comparison lists dated 5 October 2026. Fixed rates in those lists run from 3.75% to 4.69%. Three-month EIBOR, the base for variable rates, was 4.19% on 9 Oct 2026.

No resident reviews: the tower is not built

What we can show is below: what the developer and the documents say about the project. We add resident reviews after handover.

Method, sources and what we did not find
- Sales: unit-level Dubai Land Department sale records, 15 Dec 2025 to 22 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.
- Residents and building facts: Google Maps reviews and guide pages (dubai-islands.org, dubaipropertyguide.io, insiderealty.ae, luxhabitat.ae, propsearch.ae), read by an AI model on 26 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 Google Maps place, resident reviews, a floor plan document, unit positions on a floor, the side and view of each unit, a licensed photo.
