A typical residential sale here was AED 2,611,888 for about 1,123 sqft in the 12 months to 7 October 2026 (3,909 sales); across all 25,478 recorded sales the typical price is AED 2,085,000.

That is all 91 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 Dubai Creek Harbour

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 Dubai Creek Harbour 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.

4 bedsAED 8.5MAED 460,000/yrby bedroom · 23 new lets5.4%9

Among the sizes with enough sales, the highest yield before costs here is on a 1 bed at 5.8%. 1-bedroom apartments here yield more than 3-bedroom apartments: 5.8% against 5.6%.

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 1.52M), a 1 bed here reads 6.6% instead of 5.8%. The yield in the table above uses the AED 1.72M 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 20/sqft across 12 projects, recorded for 2026. Charges have risen since then, so replace it with your own invoice if you have one. How to check it.

Only the service charge is taken off.

A separate reserve-fund line appears in 12 of the 12 project budgets counted together here; the middle of those is AED 1.3/sqft.

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

Common questions about Dubai Creek Harbour

How much is rent in Dubai Creek Harbour?

The typical rent (the median: half of the rent contracts were above this, half below) in Dubai Creek Harbour is AED 100,000/yr for a 1-bedroom, AED 150,000/yr for a 2-bedroom, AED 220,000/yr for a 3-bedroom and AED 460,000/yr for a 4-bedroom. These rents come from the rent contracts recorded in Ejari (Dubai's rent registration system) in Dubai Creek Harbour 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 Dubai Creek Harbour?

The typical price (the median: half sold for more than this, half for less) for residential sales in Dubai Creek Harbour was AED 2,533/sqft over the 30 days to 7 October 2026, from the 318 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 2.61M and measured about 1,123 sqft (3,909 sales). These come from sales recorded by the Dubai Land Department. They are what buyers paid, not asking prices.

What rental yield does Dubai Creek Harbour give?

The yield before costs on ready homes in Dubai Creek Harbour is about 5.8% on a 1-bedroom apartment, 5.8% on a 2-bedroom apartment and 5.6% on a 3-bedroom apartment. That is a year of rent divided by what completed homes of that size sold for over the same twelve months. 1-bedroom apartments here yield more than 3-bedroom apartments: 5.8% against 5.6%. 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 Dubai Creek Harbour freehold?

Yes. Every unit in Dubai Creek Harbour whose ownership type is recorded in the Land Department's register is freehold, so foreign nationals may own property here outright. The register holds 19,322 units for the area.

How have property prices in Dubai Creek Harbour changed over the last two years?

The typical price (the median: half sold for more than this, half for less) of ready homes in Dubai Creek Harbour was AED 2,238/sqft in Q3 2026 (232 sales), against AED 2,213/sqft in Q4 2024 (254 sales). That is a change of +1.1% across those quarters. By quarter, the typical price of ready homes was AED 2,213/sqft in Q4 2024, AED 2,248/sqft in Q1 2025, AED 2,230/sqft in Q2 2025, AED 2,308/sqft in Q3 2025, AED 2,351/sqft in Q4 2025, AED 2,395/sqft in Q1 2026, AED 2,302/sqft in Q2 2026 and AED 2,238/sqft in Q3 2026. Off-plan sales had a typical price of AED 2,600/sqft in Q3 2026 (520 sales) and are never counted together with ready homes here. These are typical prices of recorded sales, not a price index: a quarter's move against the one before it partly reflects which homes sold, and sales for Q3 2026 are still being recorded.

Is Dubai Creek Harbour mostly off-plan or completed homes?

69% of the 3,909 sales recorded in Dubai Creek Harbour 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 Dubai Creek Harbour, 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.

Ready-home typical price +1.1% from Q4 2024 (AED 2,213/sqft, 254 sales) to Q3 2026 (AED 2,238/sqft, 232 sales).

Q3 2026 holds 232 ready sales against about 337 in each of the three quarters before it: sales for it are still being recorded, and its typical price will settle in later months.

The typical price moves with the mix of homes that sold, not only with prices.

Mortgage registrations in Dubai Creek Harbour

There were 869 mortgage registrations here in the 12 months to 7 October 2026. That is the date of the newest mortgage registration in our Dubai-wide records. These count registrations, not buyers.

  • 732 new registrations
  • 67 delayed, on off-plan
  • 17 modifications
  • 14 lease finance
  • 23 pre-registrations
  • 2 portfolio registrations
  • 14 other types

A modification or a transfer is not a new purchase.
