What else to look at in Arabian Ranches 3
The buildings this one sits between on recorded price per square foot, and the newest to start trading. Every one has its own page of registered prices.
Medians over each building’s whole recorded history at the Dubai Land Department, so a tower that has not traded lately is still here — this is what to look at next, not what the market is doing this month. Buildings with fewer than five recorded sales are left out. “First traded” is the year the register first saw a sale in the building, which for a new tower is close to its handover.
