Dubai property price check

Divide the asking price by the size in square feet and compare it with the median price per square foot that the same size sold for in the same project. The check above does this with every home sale the Dubai Land Department registered over Oct 2025–Sep 2026. A price well above the median, or above the middle half of prices, is worth questioning.

Registered sales in the Dubai Land Department’s open data, to 5 Oct 2026, from Dubai Real Estate Data (dubairealestatedata.com), CC BY 4.0, processed by Real Estate IQ. They are prices buyers paid and registered, not asking prices from listings.

Two flats with the same bedroom count can differ a lot in size. Price per square foot takes size out of the comparison. Use the size on the sale contract, because listings sometimes round it.

Sort the registered sales of that size from cheapest to dearest and drop the cheapest quarter and the dearest quarter. The middle half is what remains. An asking price inside it is in line with most sales; one above it is dearer than three quarters of them.

A median needs at least 5 registered home sales of a size over the last twelve months. When a project has fewer, the check uses every home sale in its area and says so. A project with no registered sale since 2019, such as a new launch, does not appear yet.

No. It compares one price with registered sales. Floor, view, condition and the service charge all move the price of a single flat, and a bank or a valuer registered with RERA will look at those. Nothing here is investment advice.

The Dubai Land Department lists a sale registration fee of 4% of the price, 2% for the seller and 2% for the buyer; who actually pays is set in the sale agreement. The check adds the full 4% so you see the most it can cost. On top come fixed fees, the registration trustee’s ⃃AED 4,000 + VAT (⃃AED 2,000 + VAT under ⃃AED 500,000) and any agent’s commission.
