Why some cells show “—”. A median is published only where it rests on at least 30 registered sales in that area and year; below that, one or two unusual units can move the figure more than the market did, so the cell is left blank. The same 30-sale line is the one the commercial price index uses to flag a thin month. Areas are not listed until at least one of their years clears it.

* 2026 is a part year: it covers sales registered from 1 January to 27 July 2026.

Medians are rounded to the nearest dirham. Areas are the Dubai Land Department’s own areas, which can span more than one community; the line under an area’s name is the master project the register files its sales under.

Method

How These Figures Are Built

Every figure comes from the Dubai Land Department’s register of real estate transactions, as published on data.dubai, read to 27 July 2026. The tables count sales only: unit sales of offices and shops that the register records as existing (completed) property. That includes a developer’s sale of a completed unit as well as sales between owners; off-plan sales are left out.

The register states a price per square metre; it is converted to square feet by dividing by 10.7639. Before any median is taken, the same trim the Mitchell’s Dubai Commercial Real Estate Index applies is applied here: within each segment and calendar quarter, sales outside the 1st to 99th percentile are set aside, and so are sales priced below 15% of that quarter’s trimmed median. Each area is then the median of what remains in that area and calendar year, dated by the Land Department’s own registration date.

A median describes the mix of units that sold in a year, and that mix changes. A year in which smaller or older units dominate the sales will print lower than one led by larger or newer stock, even in the same area. Read a cell beside its sale count, and beside the years either side of it.

Read These Figures Alongside

The commercial price index tracks the same register month by month across all areas. To price one unit, the commercial valuation estimator works from the comparable sales behind a specific building. For the areas themselves, the Dubai area guides cover each community in depth.
