How to use these figures
A median is the middle sale: half sold for less, half for more. Within one area, floor, view, building and payment plan move a price a long way, so use the area as the first check and the project as the second. Each area page has every size, price band and project; the price check puts an asking price against the right median for you.
Every area: Dubai areas by registered sales.
