Like for like compares finished apartments with the same bed sizes as the year before. Off-plan sales are mostly new projects each year, so their prices are shown as levels only.

Where the figures come from
The Land Department records Motor City as the master project Motor City, in the land area Al Hebiah First. All Motor City sales on this page are the sales registered to that master project.
Sales: Dubai Land Department sale registrations (sales and off-plan sales; gifts, grants and mortgages left out), homes only, extreme prices per sq ft left out. A median is the middle sale, so a few very dear or very cheap homes do not move it. Off-plan means sold before completion. "Like for like" compares finished apartments with the same bed sizes as the year before, so a change in the mix of homes sold does not show up as a price change.
Rents: Ejari lease registrations. "New lease" means a new tenant, a lease of 6 to 13 months and one home per lease. A figure is shown only when it rests on enough records; otherwise the sentence is left out.
Every number on this page comes from one dataset, the BUY DUBAI facts cube, built from the Land Department records each night. Data view.
