How we assess Dubai property data

We first establish the registered building, project and area. We assess comparable official transactions, ownership costs and data limitations together. An asking price, a registered sale price and a bank valuation are different measures.
Property type, bedroom count, size, transaction date and ready or under-construction status must be identified. Sales, rents, mortgages and gifts are not pooled into one price series. Findings disclose sample counts and differences between units.
The current chart shows only two annual average apartment-price observations for Dubai, for 2007 and 2024, from the DLD Annual Report 2024. These are not daily market history or a valuation of an individual unit. Intermediate observations and separate ready/off-plan series are not displayed.
Comparisons also identify acquisition, maintenance, vacancy, financing and exit costs. Future scenarios need explicit assumptions and are not guaranteed returns or formal valuations. Where evidence is insufficient, the conclusion remains undetermined.

Buying comparison | Checked 13 September 2026
For near-term rent, investigate a ready, inspectable unit. Vida Residences Dubai Mall (Emaar, Downtown) is listed in Emaar’s recently completed directory. Check unit occupancy, registered comparable rents, service charges and actual resale transactions; location alone does not establish value.
Binghatti Aquarise (Business Bay): official starting offers of AED 2,000,000 / 789 sqft for one bedroom and AED 2,909,999 / 1,090 sqft for two bedrooms. These are asking offers, not registered sales or confirmed availability. Stated payment: 20% booking, 50% construction, 30% completion; expected Q1 2027 per developer, not a guaranteed handover. Fund installments and delay risk without assuming rent before delivery.
Palm Jebel Ali (Nakheel) contains planned frond villas; it is not Palm Jumeirah or Jebel Ali Village. Frond, design, contract price and delivery schedule must be verified before comparing units.
Land may have no current rent and requires permitted-use, construction-cost and execution checks. Compare apartments and villas after service charges, repairs, vacancy, financing and exit costs. Price growth is not net profit; unmatched products cannot support a return ranking.
