Completed homes

What a completed home sold for in June 2010

Resales of completed homes, by layout — a layout prints at ten sales. Off-plan is kept out: a launch price is a developer’s schedule, not a market, and the month’s off-plan sales have their own line beside the table.

Medians of what buyers paid at transfer, never an asking price. Each is a month’s sales, so a layout’s figure moves with which buildings happened to sell as well as with prices; the year-long reading of the same register is on Dubai property prices.

Registration days
19, 1 June to 30 June. The busiest was 29 June: 477 sales, AED 849m.
Off-plan
1,258 sales at a median AED 1,179 a square foot — its own line, never blended into the completed-home medians.
Villas
163 of the 3,054, as the register files them. A house sold with its plot is filed as land and is not counted here.
Payment plans
90 registered under the Land Department’s payment-plan and delayed-sale procedures.

Where the sales were

The busiest communities, and the dearest

The communities with the most sales registered in June, launches and resales together; beside them the dearest, by the median price of a square foot of completed home at ten resales or more.

A community counts the sales of every building and villa project in it that has a page here. A sale the register files where we have no page — a plot, a tower not yet placed — is in the month’s total and in neither table. The busiest table’s price is completed homes only, so a community that sold nothing but launches has none; the dearest table ranks completed homes alone.

Buildings

The busiest towers in June 2010

The 15 buildings with the most sales registered in June, each linking its own recorded history.

Every sale the tower registered in the month. The price is its median a square foot where it sold one kind of home — off-plan or completed — and a dash where it sold both, because the two are never averaged together.

The record sales

The dearest homes registered in June 2010

The dearest was an AED 16M completed four-bedroom home at Burj Khalifa, Downtown Dubai — 4,596 sq ft at AED 3,496 a square foot, registered on 10 June.

Apartments and villas as the register files them. A house registered with its plot is filed as land, so a mansion can be missing here; it is read apart, with every year’s record since 2015, on the most expensive homes sold in Dubai. A home with no page here is named by the Land Department’s area.

Questions people ask

The Dubai property market in June 2010, answered

How many properties were sold in Dubai in June 2010?

3,054 residential sales were registered at the Dubai Land Department in June 2010, worth AED 4.2bn: 1,258 off-plan and 1,796 completed homes. That is 54% fewer than in June 2009, when 6,635 were registered. The count is of transfers the Land Department registered in the month; mortgage registrations, gifts, lease-to-own conversions, developers' own filings and transfers recorded at a fraction of what a home sells for are left out, because none of them is a price a buyer paid.

What was the most expensive home sold in Dubai in June 2010?

The dearest apartment or villa registered was an AED 16M completed four-bedroom home at Burj Khalifa, Downtown Dubai — 4,596 sq ft at AED 3,496 a square foot, registered on 10 June. Next came AED 15M at Burj Khalifa, Downtown Dubai, and AED 13M at Marina Residences 2, Palm Jumeirah. A house registered with its plot is filed as land rather than as a villa, so it is read apart, on the page for the most expensive homes sold in Dubai.

Which area of Dubai had the most property sales in June 2010?

Downtown Dubai, with 603 registered sales, 425 of them off-plan; then Jumeirah Lake Towers (585) and Dubai Marina (477). The dearest, by the median price of a square foot of completed home, was Downtown Dubai at AED 1,355 across 178 resales. A community counts every building and villa project in it that has a page here.

The same register read as a year rather than a month: what every community and building sells for now is Dubai property prices, and how far prices have moved since 2020 is the Dubai property price index. Rents are read from the Ejari register as a year, with a new lease kept apart from a renewal, on Dubai rent prices.

Where these numbers come from. Every figure on this page is drawn from the Dubai Land Department’s transaction register, read directly from the Dubai Data Exchange. It is what buyers actually paid, recorded at transfer — not asking prices, not valuations, not our own estimates. Mortgage registrations, gift transfers, rent-to-own contracts and developers’ own filings are all excluded; none of them is a price a buyer paid. Medians are used rather than averages so one unusual sale cannot move the number. Data through 30 Jun 2010.
