Buy an apartment in Dubai Harbour

DLD records 85 registered sale transactions in Dubai Harbour over the last 12 months. The median apartment price is AED 3,000,000 and the median price per square foot is AED 3,206. These are registered deals rather than asking prices: the median shows where the area's market actually closes.

All figures above come from the same canonical row and are hidden together when freshness, completeness, or reconciliation fails.

Entry level

The most affordable verified rung in Dubai Harbour is 1BR: a median of AED 2,363,489 across 152 deals. This is the middle of that bedroom count, not the area's floor price: individual units trade both below and well above it.

Prices by bedroom count

There is no verified row for Studio, so those rungs are absent from the table. A gap means "not verified", not "this bedroom count is not sold here".

What the paperwork costs

The Dubai Land Department transfer fee is 4% of the deal value. On the median Dubai Harbour apartment that is AED 120,000, and AED 94,540 on the 1BR. The rate was confirmed against its source on 2026-07-18.

This calculation covers the registration fee only. Agency commission, bank and mortgage costs, valuation, service charges and management costs are NOT included: we hold no confirmed rate for them, and we will not state an unverified figure. A buyer should obtain the full cost sheet in writing from their broker and bank.

Price dynamics

There is not enough verified year-on-year momentum for Dubai Harbour right now, so the page shows neither an estimate nor a stale figure.

What to check before the deal

An area median does not replace checking a specific unit. Before the deal, review recent transactions in the building itself, current rents for comparable units, the service charge, the building's age and developer, and the payment terms: a ready unit and a developer payment plan carry different risks.
