Dubai Prime Market, Year to Date

By community

Grouped by the land-registry area on each record, which is why Downtown appears as Burj Khalifa and Dubai Marina as Marsa Dubai. Price per square foot is the median of the sales with a registered floor area. Communities with a guide on this site are linked.

34 communities recorded a sale above AED 10 million in the period; the top 20 by count are shown.

Method

Registered sales only, no mortgages or gifts, residential usage, transaction value at or above the threshold. Homes are apartments, hotel apartments, and villas and townhouses registered as buildings. Land is counted separately: the register does not say whether a villa plot is built, so villa sales registered with their plot sit with land rather than with homes, and whole buildings and commercial units in mixed towers are also kept apart because a single registration can cover an entire tower. A record priced above AED 250,000 per square metre on its stated floor area is set aside as a bulk or mis-keyed registration and counted, not shown. Grouped by the land-registry area name on the record. Off-plan means an Oqood registration of a home still under construction. The Land Department names no project on part of the records; those are counted but cannot be attributed to a building. The last month keeps gaining late registrations after the pull, so read it as a floor.
