Price history
Dubai property prices, 2011–2026
Typical recorded sale price per square foot, by year, from Dubai Land Department records. Ready homes and off-plan sales are two markets and are never added together here; each figure says how many sales it comes from.
Ready homes · monthly typical price
Off-plan sales · monthly typical price
Months with fewer than 30 recorded sales are left out of the lines. The lines stop before October 2026: a sale reaches the register weeks after it is agreed, so the newest month holds only part of its eventual sales and would move for weeks after it was drawn.

The last eight quarters, Q4 2024 to Q3 2026
Citywide, by calendar quarter of the sale date, complete quarters only. A quarter is shown from 60 or more sales; the change shown is against the same quarter a year earlier, because a quarter's move against the one before it is mostly a change in which homes sold.

By year
Typical price of recorded residential sales in that year, not an index; the mix changes as buildings complete. 2007–2010 are shown greyed: the register exists for those years but is not a comparable market — the 2009 column, for example, is mostly a backlog of off-plan contracts recorded in one go. Before 2007 the record holds a handful of residential sales a year and is omitted.
