The recorded register

Dubai Sales Reports

Every residential sale registered with the Dubai Land Department since 1997 — 1,093,135 of them — read back as one figure per community and one per building. Not asking prices: what buyers actually paid.

Completed resales only — off-plan is counted separately, because the mix of launches moves a blended median more than prices do. A year appears once it holds at least 100 recorded resales, and 2026 runs to the date above.

Communities

Every community, ranked by what it sells for

80 of Dubai's 112 communities have enough recorded resales in the last twelve months to carry a median. The rest still have a report — measured over a longer window.

The dearest buildings change hands a few dozen times in two years. The busiest turn over that many in a month — most of them newly handed over, their first owners selling on. Completed homes only, by the date the Dubai Land Department registered the transfer: the ninety days to 3 Sept 2026, each building against its own average ninety days over the year before. One building per community on the left, or the list would be seven Bluewaters addresses in a row. 9 buildings that registered a portfolio in one go — one buyer, not a market — are left out on the right and named on their community pages.

Recorded rents

What each community rents for

92 communities with a hundred or more tenancies registered with Ejari in the last twelve months, ranked by rent per square foot a year. Each links to its rental report — median rents by layout, new leases against renewals, and gross yield against the sale register.

Median annual rents. The rental register records the area a home sits in, not the building, so a community’s figures are its DLD area’s — Dubai Marina, JBR and Dubai Harbour share one. Each report says which area it read.

How it is measured

The rules, so you can argue with the number

A sale is what a buyer paid

Every figure comes from the Dubai Land Department’s registered transactions. We exclude lease-to-own conversions, developer registration filings, and transfers recorded at a fraction of what the building trades for — they carry a price, but nobody bought a home at it that day. That is 5.5% of all rows, and enough to move a building’s median by five per cent.

Off-plan is never blended in

A community sells completed homes and launches at once, at very different prices. Averaged together, Dubai Marina reads as a 13% fall in a year it rose 10% — the number tracks launch schedules, not prices. Headlines are resales; off-plan is shown beside them, labelled.

The window says how long it is

Twelve months where there are enough sales to mean something, three years where there are not, and the whole record for a quiet building — always labelled, with the date of the last recorded sale. Half of Dubai’s buildings sold fewer than twelve homes last year.
