The Medalist, Dubai Sports City
A resale home in The Medalist sells for about AED 845,000
Median of 10 resale sales of every bed size in the 12 months to 26 Oct 2026, from Land Department records (no single bed size has 10 sales). Last sale in the tower: 3 Sep 2026.
- The market says
- 10 resales of all sizes in the 12 months to 26 Oct 2026 at AED 932 per sq ft; 1 home for sale now.
“The Medalist had 10 resales of all sizes in the 12 months to 26 Oct 2026 at about AED 932 per sq ft, but too few owners have sold twice for me to quote a return. A 1-bed gives a gross yield of about 8.7% on the signed Ejari rent for this building (AED 69,500 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. 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 | Median asking | Rent a year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-bed | – (under 10) | – (0) | – (1) |
| 2-bed | – (under 10) | – (1) | – (0) |
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 54 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 932 per sq ft in the 12 months to 26 Oct 2026 (10 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.
