Dubai Islands

The area median of 2,374 AED/sqft is the median across 2,183 sales registered in these projects over the 12 months to 5 Oct 2026. It is not a like-for-like figure: unit mix, floor level, view and finish differ between projects, and an area with more studios will read lower than one with more three-bedroom units for reasons that have nothing to do with value.

A project row shows its median at any count, with the number of sales behind it; on fewer than 10 sales it is marked as a small sample. On the extract of 6 Oct 2026, 82 of 121 projects in Dubai Islands had 10 or more.

Dubai Land Department project register and transaction register, via the Mitchell's Commercial Real Estate DLD pipeline. Project facts (developer, area, unit counts, start and completion dates) are as recorded in DLD's live project register, read 4 Oct 2026; the project description, master community and building count are from DLD's open-data project extract loaded 15 Jun 2026. Transaction figures cover registered Sales of units and villas between 28 Apr 2025 and 5 Oct 2026; 28 Apr 2025 is the earliest date held in the register, not the start of the project, so counts are of sales in that window only. Gifts, mortgages, zero-price rows, land and whole-building transfers are excluded, as are AED/sqft values outside 100-20000. Where the register holds the same sale twice, the duplicate is removed before anything is counted. Medians, not averages. Every median is published with the number of registered sales behind it, down to a single sale; a project median on fewer than 10 sales, a quarter on fewer than 20, a segment on fewer than 5 and an area benchmark on fewer than 100 are marked thin, and a change between quarters is quoted only between quarters that reach 20. This is a dated extract, not a live query: it changes only when the extract is regenerated with `npm run data:offplan`. Dates are the Dubai Land Department's own registration dates. Where a sale reaches us twice — once in DLD's bulk export and once in its daily feed — we keep the bulk record, and DLD registers on working days, so a sale agreed at a weekend carries the following working day.
