Dubai property, on the numbers
The price a place was worth.
We do not run a listings board. We tell you what property in Dubai actually sells for, what it actually lets for, and what is registered to be built — from the Land Department’s own records — and then we find and negotiate the specific property for you.

Prices people actually paid, not asking prices
Source: Dubai Land Department open data. Recorded sale transactions (flats, villas and hotel apartments) from 22 March to 18 September 2026; new Ejari rent contracts from 19 August to 17 September 2026. Not asking prices. A community is priced only with at least 30 recorded sales. Pulled 18 September 2026, 20:32 UTC.
This week on the ledger
Palm Jumeirah is two markets.
The median recorded sale on the Palm was AED 3,215 per sq ft. That one figure hides the real story: ready homes sold at a median of AED 2,382 per sq ft and off-plan at AED 5,814. Which of the two you are buying matters more than the address.
From Dubai Land Department recorded sales. The community page has the method.

Recorded, not asked
Every figure here comes from a registered transaction or an Ejari contract. An asking price is what a seller hopes for. We work from what the market actually did.
The real cost, not the headline
A Dubai resale adds roughly 6–8%: the 4% Land Department transfer fee, the trustee fee, and a 2% agency fee plus VAT. Off-plan, the developer pays the agency fee. The about page sets them out in full, before you ask.
We show the uncertainty
Where a sample is too thin to price, we say so instead of quoting a median off four sales. Where a figure cannot be stated honestly, such as a yield whose rent records cannot be matched to the homes that sold, we withhold it and say why.
Why there are no listings on this site
Advertising a specific property in Dubai requires a Trakheesi permit issued to a licensed brokerage, and the permit number has to appear on the advertisement. Rather than run a listings page we are not licensed to run, we do the half that needs no permit and is more useful anyway: telling you what a place is worth. Sourcing and negotiating the individual property then happens through licensed channels, with you.
