JVT Price per SqFt 2026 — DLD Data
Median AED 1 616/sqft, +6,2% YoY. 5 669 DLD transactions. Data: июль 2026.
The median price per square foot in Jumeirah Village Triangle sits around 1,616 AED/sqft, one of the more affordable levels among established residential communities in western Dubai. Nakheel laid the area out as a low-rise, family-oriented grid: quiet internal streets, townhouses and modest apartment blocks rather than towers. Roughly 5,669 transactions closed here over the past 12 months, so the liquidity is genuine rather than theoretical. PSF reads plainly in JVT: buyers pay for floor area and easy access to Al Khail Road, not for a waterfront view or a marquee address.

What drives PSF here
The main driver of PSF in JVT is layout and turnover, not the view. Compact studios trade at 1,862 AED/sqft, more per foot than roomy two-bedrooms at 1,334, because the market pays a premium for a small ticket and an easy resale. Short-term rental demand is the second factor: proximity to the main road network and business hubs makes studios and one-beds convenient for holiday lets, which lifts the price of a foot in the smaller formats. Position inside the triangle stratifies price too, with blocks near the park corridors and with finished interiors commanding more per foot than the same unit tucked deeper in with a wall-facing window. Finally, the sheer deal count, close to 5,700 a year, keeps the spread tight, so a seller struggles to inflate PSF when dozens of comparable sales sit nearby.
Price dynamics
Over the year the district's median price added 6.2%, steady growth without overheating, the kind you expect in an affordable band that keeps absorbing demand pushed out of pricier central communities. By segment the picture inverts the usual "bigger unit, dearer foot" instinct. Studios hold the highest PSF at 1,862 AED/sqft on a 730,000 median, because a small ticket always trades at a per-foot markup. One-bedrooms, the community's workhorse format with 2,736 sales, run at 1,535 AED/sqft and a median of 1,162,000. Two-bedrooms are the "cheapest" by the foot at 1,334 AED/sqft, which fits, since a larger lot is harder to churn. Three-bedrooms sit slightly above two-beds per foot at 1,395 AED/sqft, but only 67 changed hands all year, a thin segment where one or two atypical deals can swing the median.
Risks
First, the top of the market is thin: with only 67 three-bedroom sales in a year, the 1,395 median PSF is statistically fragile, and a single unusual deal shifts the benchmark, so leaning on it to value a large lot is risky. Second, the studio premium rests on short lets: 1,862 AED/sqft holds while occupancy and nightly demand stay high, but if STR rules tighten or competition grows, the small format is the first to lose its per-foot markup. Third, there is a new-supply overhang: JVT is still being built out, and a cluster of simultaneous handovers can press PSF down for a while in specific sub-locations, especially where studios and one-beds hit the market in batches.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the median PSF in Jumeirah Village Triangle in 2026?
- DLD figures for the trailing 12 months put the median price per square foot in JVT at about 1,616 AED/sqft, on a median apartment price of 1,139,000 AED. That is one of the more affordable levels among established communities in western Dubai.
- Why do JVT studios cost more per foot than two-bedrooms?
- Studios trade at 1,862 AED/sqft while two-beds sit at 1,334. Small floor area always carries a per-foot premium: the total ticket is lower, resale is easier and short lets are more convenient, so the market pays more for the compact format on a per-square-foot basis.
- How did prices in the area move over the year?
- The median price rose 6.2% year on year. That is moderate growth with no sign of overheating, typical of an affordable band that keeps absorbing demand pushed out of the pricier centre.
- Which segment gives the most reliable PSF benchmark?
- One-bedrooms. They are the community's dominant format with 2,736 sales in a year, a 1,162,000 AED median and a PSF of 1,535 AED/sqft. The high deal count makes the median stable, so one-beds are the fairest read on price per foot in JVT.
- Can you rely on three-bedroom PSF for valuation?
- Only with caution. There were just 67 three-bedroom sales in a year, and the 1,395 AED/sqft median is statistically fragile, since one atypical deal moves it noticeably. For larger lots, check specific comparable sales rather than leaning on a single figure.
