The market says

James Paul Booth
The agent's view
“Owners who sold in Sanibel Tower made 12.1% a year, and 15% of them sold at a loss. A 1-bed gives a gross yield of about 5.1% on the median signed Ejari rent for a 1-bed in Dubai Marina (AED 95,000 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 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.

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 91 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 2,044 per sq ft in the 12 months to 26 Oct 2026 (12 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.

Too few quarters with sales to draw a chart.

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.

What owners made: +12.1% a year, 15% sold at a loss

20 owners bought a home in Sanibel Tower and sold it again as a completed home 6 months or more later. Half of them held it for 2.6 years or more. A gain is the change in the price for each year held, before fees, service charge and rent.

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.

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. We cannot show price cuts over time or the time to sell yet: these need more than one reading.

Method, sources and what we did not find

  • Sales: unit-level Dubai Land Department sale records, 15 Jan 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.
