A typical residential sale here was AED 1,325,000 for about 1,182 sqft in the 12 months to 7 October 2026 (84 sales); across all 1,772 recorded sales the typical price is AED 1,149,757.

That is all 198 months of records for this area, shown as a yearly pace. It averages over every rise and fall in that time, so it describes the long run rather than the market today. Treat it as history, not a forecast.

What each size costs in Barsha Heights

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.

Villas on the Land Department's register in Al Thanyah First

The Land Department files these villas under its area Al Thanyah First, which this page covers as Barsha Heights. Every villa record in that Land Department area is counted.

The Land Department's buildings file lists 81 villas in Al Thanyah First; 0 of them stand alone on a plot in the land register with both sizes recorded, which is fewer than the 30 needed, so no plot band is shown.

What it returns

A year of rent compared with what completed homes of that size actually sold for in Barsha Heights 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.

SizePrice now, ready homesRents forYield before costsReady sales, 12 months

3 bedsAED 10.18MAED 145,000/yrby bedroom · 85 new lets1.4%2

Among the sizes with enough sales, the highest yield before costs here is on a 2 beds at 6.7%. 2-bedroom apartments here yield more than 1-bedroom apartments: 6.7% against 6.3%.

Why this is lower than yields quoted elsewhere

The usual shortcut divides today’s rent by an average price. In a market that has risen as far as Dubai’s, the average is a historical price. Worked out with the typical price across every sale on record (AED 940K), a 1 bed here reads 7.6% instead of 6.3%. The yield in the table above uses the AED 1.12M a completed one costs today. Every figure above uses the same twelve months, and completed homes only, on both sides.

What it returns after service charges

Starting from the typical owners’ association budget in this area — AED 17/sqft across 5 projects, recorded for 2022–2026 (3 for 2026). Charges have risen since then, so replace it with your own invoice if you have one. How to check it.

1 bedAED 14,500AED 56,5006.3%5.0%
2 bedsAED 22,988AED 72,0126.7%5.1%

Only the service charge is taken off.

A separate reserve-fund line appears in 5 of the 5 project budgets counted together here; the middle of those is AED 1.1/sqft.

Yield before costs: a year of rent as a share of the price.

Common questions about Barsha Heights

How much is rent in Barsha Heights?

The typical rent (the median: half of the rent contracts were above this, half below) in Barsha Heights is AED 62,000/yr for a studio, AED 71,000/yr for a 1-bedroom, AED 95,000/yr for a 2-bedroom and AED 145,000/yr for a 3-bedroom. These rents come from the rent contracts recorded in Ejari (Dubai's rent registration system) in Barsha Heights 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 Barsha Heights?

The typical price (the median: half sold for more than this, half for less) for residential sales in Barsha Heights was AED 1,350/sqft over the 30 days to 7 October 2026, from the 14 sales recorded so far for those days. Late records are still arriving, so that count can grow. Over the 12 months to 7 October 2026, homes here typically sold for about AED 1.33M and measured about 1,182 sqft (84 sales). These come from sales recorded by the Dubai Land Department. They are what buyers paid, not asking prices.

What rental yield does Barsha Heights give?

The yield before costs on ready homes in Barsha Heights is about 6.3% on a 1-bedroom apartment and 6.7% on a 2-bedroom apartment. That is a year of rent divided by what completed homes of that size sold for over the same twelve months. 2-bedroom apartments here yield more than 1-bedroom apartments: 6.7% against 6.3%. 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 Barsha Heights freehold?

Mostly, but not entirely. 8,732 of the 9,104 units with a recorded ownership type in Barsha Heights are freehold, so foreign ownership is possible in most buildings here and not all. Check the specific title before committing.

Is Barsha Heights mostly off-plan or completed homes?

4% of the 84 sales recorded in Barsha Heights in the 12 months to 7 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 Barsha Heights, 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.
