“5242 had 21 resales of all sizes in the 12 months to 26 Oct 2026 at about AED 3,118 per sq ft, but too few owners have sold twice for me to quote a return. 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 26 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.
| Type | Resale: sold | Resale: per sq ft |
|---|---|---|
| 2-bed | AED 3,255,000 (12) | 2,828 |
Sold prices: Land Department sale records to 26 Oct 2026, BUY DUBAI facts cube. Asking and rent are adverts, not contracts.
Sales we leave out of every median, count and chart (0 of 0 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 resale sales to state a yearly change
Median AED 3,118 per sq ft in the 12 months to 26 Oct 2026 (21 resale sales). A like-for-like yearly change needs at least 10 sales of the same bed size in each of the two 12-month periods.
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; Land Department records, quarters with 10 or more sales.
Every sale since 2020: 0 sales of 0 units
Newest first. Each sale is marked Resale or Off-plan. The last column shows the change from the same unit's sale before.

Method, sources and what we did not find
- Sales: unit-level Dubai Land Department sale records, 2020 to 24 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 (Building guide from live adverts (facts and resident opinions; rewrite in your own words; cite as "live adverts")., live adverts: community guide), read by an AI model on 27 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: sales, a Google Maps place, resident reviews, guides, a floor plan document, unit positions on a floor, the side and view of each unit, building facts, the developer, a licensed photo.
