Buy an apartment in Jabal Ali

DLD records 299 registered sale transactions in Jabal Ali over the last 12 months. The median apartment price is AED 655,000 and the median price per square foot is AED 948. 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 Jabal Ali is Studio: a median of AED 507,690 across 204 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 2BR, 3BR, 4BR, 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 Jabal Ali apartment that is AED 26,200, and AED 20,308 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

The year-on-year change in median price for ready apartments in Jabal Ali is +13.2%. It compares two complete 12-month windows and is not a forecast: buying at today's median does not guarantee the same movement ahead.

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.
