How to read this index

Every area shown clears a confidence gate of at least 50 recorded sale transactions in the window. Prices are deal-count-weighted medians across Studio, 1BR, 2BR and 3BR unit segments — this means a handful of ultra-premium penthouses cannot inflate the district's representative price. Areas with fewer than 50 deals are excluded rather than estimated.

Methodology & source

Source: Dubai Land Department (DLD) registered transactions, aggregated in the ECOSYSTEM read-model and shown here without adjustment. Data as of July 2026.

Median sale price is the deal-count-weighted median across Studio, 1BR, 2BR and 3BR residential unit segments for each area. This is the same calculation used on ecosystem.estate area pages — numbers match one-to-one.

Price per square foot (AED/sqft) is the weighted median of the per-sqft transaction prices for the same segments. It is a better measure for cross-district comparison than total price, which is affected by average unit size.

Price YoY is the deal-count-weighted change in median price versus the prior year's window. A blank cell means a reliable prior-year comparison is not available for that area — we show nothing rather than a guess.

Frequently asked questions

Which area has the highest property prices in Dubai in 2026?
Based on DLD transaction data as of July 2026, Jumeirah Second records the highest median price at approximately AED 22575K. Premium coastal and downtown districts consistently lead on absolute price.
Which Dubai area is most affordable for buyers?
As of July 2026, the most affordable areas by median transaction price are Al Nahda First, Al Qusais Industrial Fifth, International City Ph 1, International City, Dubai Industrial City. These districts offer lower entry points, often with higher rental yields.
What does the price per sqft figure mean?
AED/sqft (price per square foot) is the weighted median of per-sqft transaction prices across Studio, 1BR, 2BR and 3BR segments. It removes the influence of unit size mix and is the standard comparison metric for Dubai real estate.
