Buy an apartment in Dubai Marina

DLD records 673 registered sale transactions in Dubai Marina over the last 12 months. The median apartment price is AED 2,075,000 and the median price per square foot is AED 1,887. 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 Marina is Studio: a median of AED 874,847 across 234 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

For Studio the price per ft² does not reconcile with the unit price: their ratio implies an impossible floor area. We do not print such a figure, so the AED/ft² column shows a dash. The median price and deal count for those rungs passed reconciliation and are shown unchanged.

What the paperwork costs

The Dubai Land Department transfer fee is 4% of the deal value. On the median Dubai Marina apartment that is AED 83,000, and AED 34,994 on the Studio. 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 Marina 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.
