What each size costs in Al Barsha First

Typical size and price for every bedroom count. A size with at least 15 recorded sales is well evidenced; a size with fewer is still shown, with a red (i) and the number of sales behind it. The Dubai Land Department records the number of bedrooms on nearly every sale, so these figures come from real sales, not estimates. The main price is for the last 12 months. The typical price across every sale on record sits under it.

Rent: the typical rent on new lets, matched by bedrooms or by size.

What it returns

A year of rent compared with what completed homes of that size actually sold for in Al Barsha First over the same twelve months. Rents come from Ejari rent contracts and prices from recorded sales. Off-plan sales are left out of the price, because rent is paid on built homes and off-plan sells at a premium. A red (i) marks a figure that rests on few records, with how many.

Common questions about Al Barsha First

How much is rent in Al Barsha First?

The typical rent (the median: half of the rent contracts were above this, half below) in Al Barsha First is AED 48,000/yr for a studio, AED 65,000/yr for a 1-bedroom, AED 91,000/yr for a 2-bedroom and AED 131,000/yr for a 3-bedroom. These rents come from the rent contracts recorded in Ejari (Dubai's rent registration system) in Al Barsha First over the last twelve months. They are what tenants agreed to pay, not advertised asking rents. Each rent is matched to homes by bedroom count where Ejari records one, which most contracts do, and by floor area where it does not. Each row on this page says which.

How much do properties cost in Al Barsha First?

The typical price (the median: half sold for more than this, half for less) for residential sales in Al Barsha First was AED 1,615/sqft in August 2026, from 6 sales recorded that month. Over the 12 months to 9 October 2026, homes here typically sold for about AED 2.56M and measured about 1,320 sqft (109 sales). These come from sales recorded by the Dubai Land Department. They are what buyers paid, not asking prices.

What rental yield does Al Barsha First give?

The yield before costs on ready homes in Al Barsha First is about 6.6% on a 1-bedroom apartment. That is a year of rent divided by what completed homes of that size sold for over the same twelve months. Service charges, agency commission and empty periods are not taken off, and in Dubai the service charge alone commonly takes a fifth to a third of the rent.

Is Al Barsha First freehold?

Yes. Every unit in Al Barsha First whose ownership type is recorded in the Land Department's register is freehold, so foreign nationals may own property here outright. The register holds 724 units for the area.

Is Al Barsha First mostly off-plan or completed homes?

75% of the 109 sales recorded in Al Barsha First in the 12 months to 9 October 2026 were off-plan, and the rest were recorded as existing property rather than off-plan. The two sell at different prices, so one price per square foot for both together would describe neither.

Prices by quarter, Q4 2024 to Q3 2026

Typical sale price per sqft in Al Barsha First, by calendar quarter of the sale date, with ready homes and off-plan sales kept apart. Only complete quarters are shown. A quarter with 60 or more sales is well evidenced; one with fewer is still shown, with a red (i) and the number of sales, and no change against a year earlier is worked out from it.
