Method and source
Source: Dubai Land Department, transaction registry and Ejari leases (open data), SwissPro360 calculation. Sales only (no mortgages or gifts), apartments and villas, land excluded; period: 1 October 2026 – 31 October 2026 (registration date). A median is shown only from 15 sales or 15 leases. Price per sq ft: in the registry, a villa's area is its plot; the “Villas” row therefore has no price per sq ft. The other prices per sq ft refer to apartments only.
