The Dubai property market in September 2026

So far in September 2026 — registrations to 11 September — the Dubai Land Department has registered 4,289 residential sales worth AED 8.7bn. Most were homes not yet built: 3,057 off-plan against 1,232 completed. A completed home has changed hands at a median AED 1.60M, AED 1,402 a square foot — 3% more a foot than in September 2025. The whole of September 2025 registered 18,465.

Not complete yet. The register runs to 11 September, and September grows each night until its last day is loaded. Every count on this page is a part month, set beside the whole of September 2025 — which is why no change on the year is given for the count or the value until the month closes.

A part month: 4,289 registrations to 11 September, drawn where the register has reached, and the bar grows each night until September closes. Off-plan is 71% of it so far, against 76% across September 2025.

Completed homes

What a completed home sold for in September 2026

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.

LayoutSalesMedian priceAED/sqft
Studio195AED 565K1,278
1 B/R378AED 1.02M1,311

4 B/R48AED 4.05M1,449

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
9, 1 September to 11 September. The busiest was 7 September: 709 sales, AED 1.3bn.
Off-plan
3,057 sales at a median AED 1,772 a square foot — its own line, never blended into the completed-home medians.
Villas
319 of the 4,289, as the register files them. A house sold with its plot is filed as land and is not counted here.
Payment plans
200 registered under the Land Department’s payment-plan and delayed-sale procedures.

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 September 2026

The 15 buildings with the most sales registered in September, 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 September 2026

The dearest was an AED 260M completed six-bedroom home at Eome Residences, Palm Jumeirah — 26,551 sq ft at AED 9,792 a square foot, registered on 1 September.

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 September 2026, answered

How many properties were sold in Dubai in September 2026?

4,289 residential sales have been registered at the Dubai Land Department in September 2026, to 11 September, worth AED 8.7bn: 3,057 off-plan and 1,232 completed homes. The whole of September 2025 registered 18,465. 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 September 2026?

The dearest apartment or villa registered was an AED 260M completed six-bedroom home at Eome Residences, Palm Jumeirah — 26,551 sq ft at AED 9,792 a square foot, registered on 1 September. Next came AED 37M at Muraba Veil, Al Wasl, and AED 37M in the Land Department's Jumeirah Second area. 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 September 2026?

Dubai South (Dubai World Central), with 394 registered sales, almost all of them off-plan; then Majan (340) and Jumeirah Village Circle (295). The dearest, by the median price of a square foot of completed home, was Downtown Dubai at AED 2,470 across 37 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 11 Sept 2026.
