The Matrix, Dubai Sports City

A resale studio in The Matrix sells for about AED 625,000

Median of 21 resale studio sales in the 12 months to 26 Oct 2026, from Land Department records (30 resale sales of all sizes). Last sale in the tower: 15 Oct 2026.

The market says
30 resales of all sizes in the 12 months to 26 Oct 2026 at AED 946 per sq ft; owners who sold gained 4.6% a year and 42% sold at a loss; 5 homes for sale now.
James Paul Booth
The agent's view
“Owners who sold in The Matrix made 4.6% a year, and 42% of them sold at a loss. A studio gives a gross yield of about 8.3% on the signed Ejari rent for this building (AED 52,000 a year), against the median sold price. Few homes are for sale against the pace of sales, so a home at the right price sells quickly. That record is weak. I would only buy below the last sold price for the same layout.”

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.

Sales we leave out of every median, count and chart (3 of 162 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 (1); a size more than 1.6 times the usual size for the recorded type, or a "studio" above 750 sq ft (2). They stay in the list below with a label.

Too few resale sales to state a yearly change

Median AED 946 per sq ft in the 12 months to 26 Oct 2026 (30 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.

What owners made: +4.6% a year, 42% sold at a loss

24 owners bought a home in The Matrix and sold it again as a completed home 6 months or more later. Half of them held it for 2.5 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.

Every sale since 2020: 162 sales of 124 units

Newest first. Each sale is marked Resale or Off-plan. The last column shows the change from the same unit's sale before.

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.

Own a unit here?

Ask for a report on your unit: its sales history, the same type's sales in the last 12 months and the homes for sale against it. A licensed partner agent, named on the report with the registration number, sends it. BUY DUBAI is not a broker and takes no part in the sale.

Method, sources and what we did not find

  • Sales: unit-level Dubai Land Department sale records, 7 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.
  • 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")., Resident and public material found on the open web (one passage per block; source and date under each)., 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: 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.
