Five things the sale and lease records show about Dubai Sports City

Every number on this page is read from the BUY DUBAI facts cube: Dubai Land Department sale records to 23 October 2026 and Ejari lease registrations to 15 October 2026. Where the cube holds no published figure for a slice, the page says so.

• Finished apartments sell for less per sq ft than off-plan launches. In the 12 months to 23 October 2026, finished apartments in Dubai Sports City sold for a median of AED 934 per sq ft across 1,011 sales, while off-plan apartments sold for a median of AED 1,444 per sq ft across 1,771 sales.
• Like-for-like finished apartment prices moved over the year. Controlling for bedroom mix, finished apartment prices per sq ft changed +5.5% compared with the 12 months before. The unadjusted median change across all apartments was +16.7%, which is higher because the mix of what sold shifted.
• Most buyers here buy apartments. Across 2,869 home sales, 2,782 were apartments and 87 were villas and townhouses (median villa price AED 8.75m). Off-plan was 64% of apartment sales.
• Gross rental yields on finished apartments are 8.6%. New-market Ejari leases for apartments had a median rent of AED 53,000 a year across 8,350 apartment leases, compared with a finished-apartment median price of AED 660,000.
• New tenants pay more than renewing tenants in the same building. Across matched building, bedroom and size groups, new leases were signed at a median of +5.3% above renewals in the 12 months to 15 October 2026.

Price per sq ft: quarterly trend and the finished against off-plan gap

Finished apartments in Dubai Sports City trade at AED 934 per sq ft. The middle half of all apartment sales sits between AED 995 and AED 1,507 per sq ft, and the all-apartment median is −23.9% against the Dubai-wide apartment median.

Finished apartment price per sq ft by quarter

The chart plots the median registered price per sq ft for finished apartments in each completed quarter. Completed quarters only are shown, so the current part-quarter does not distort the line.

All apartments price per sq ft by quarter

The all-apartment median mixes finished and off-plan sales. Because off-plan launches sell at a higher price per sq ft (AED 1,444 against AED 934), the all-apartment line moves with the share of new launches as well as with prices. That is why this page reports a like-for-like change (+5.5% over 12 months, +38.4% over three years and +70.0% over five years) for finished apartments alone.

By calendar year

Sales volumes, unit size and the off-plan share

Dubai Sports City registered 2,869 home sales worth AED 3700.71m in the 12 months to 23 October 2026, a change of −6.0% on the 3,051 sales in the 12 months before.

Quarterly home sales

Over the longer run the cube counts 1,736 sales in the 12 months three years earlier (+65.3% since) and 1,186 in the 12 months five years earlier (+141.9% since). Apartments account for AED 2870.49m of the value and villas and townhouses for AED 830.22m.

Apartment median size by quarter

The median apartment is 772 sq ft across all sales: 761 sq ft for finished apartments and 782 sq ft for off-plan. The median villa or townhouse is 1,693 sq ft. The median apartment price is AED 894,000, which splits into AED 660,000 for finished stock and AED 1.15m for off-plan.

Off-plan apartments were 64% of apartment sales in the latest 12 months, against 50% in the 12 months before. A high off-plan share means that more of the market is new launches paid on construction-linked plans, and that the headline price per sq ft reflects new-build pricing as well as resale pricing.

Apartment sale prices by number of bedrooms

Median registered sale price, price per sq ft and size for each apartment size in the 12 months to 23 October 2026. A bedroom row is only shown when the cube holds at least ten sales for it.

Villas and townhouses are a small part of the market here: 87 sales in 12 months, 86 of them finished homes, at a median price of AED 8.75m. Off-plan share among villas and townhouses is 1%.

Rents and gross yield from Ejari leases

Across 8,684 registered Ejari contracts in the 12 months to 15 October 2026, new-market leases accounted for 4,329 and renewals for 4,243.

In the apartment rental market (8,350 leases), new tenants signed at a median of AED 53,000 a year. The middle half of new leases ran from AED 42,490 to AED 67,000 a year, and the median new rent moved −1.9% against the prior 12 months. Renewing tenants signed at a median of AED 50,000.

When new leases and renewals are matched inside the same building, bedroom count and floor-area band (49,500 matched renewals in the like-for-like sample), new tenants paid +5.3% (AED 2,631 a year) more than renewing tenants in equivalent apartments.

Villa and townhouse leases (334 in 12 months) had a median new-lease rent of AED 300,000 and a renewal median of AED 328,636. The headline gross yield for finished apartments is 8.6%: the median new-market annual rent divided by the median sale price of finished apartments, weighted by lease count.

How these figures were worked out

Every number on this page is read from the BUY DUBAI facts cube (facts.parquet) and tagged with its data-fact-id and facts-manifest block.

• Sales source: Dubai Land Department registered sale transactions for the master project in this community, to 23 October 2026. Outliers outside AED 200 to AED 25,000 per sq ft are excluded when the cube is built.
• Like-for-like price change: Each bedroom bucket of finished apartments is weighted by the prior 12-month sales count, so shifts between studios, 1-beds and 2-beds do not distort the change.
• Gross rental yield: Median annual rent on new-market Ejari leases divided by the median sale price of finished apartments in each bedroom bucket, weighted by lease count.
• Suppression rule: Any slice with fewer than 10 transactions or leases is suppressed in the cube and never shown as a number.
