Dubai Islands

Off-plan and ready are different markets

Too few sales for a comparison: each price above stands on its own sales, so no percentage between off-plan and completed homes is shown.

What each size costs in Dubai Islands

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.

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.

Mortgage registrations in Dubai Islands

There were 21 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.

• 7 delayed, on off-plan
• 3 modifications
• 1 other types

A modification or a transfer is not a new purchase.
