How much more does an extra bedroom cost in Dubai South?

At the median, moving up from a studio to a 1-bedroom adds about AED 515K; from a 1-bedroom to a 2-bedroom adds about AED 624K; and from a 2-bedroom to a 3-bedroom adds about AED 653K.

Off-plan or ready?

Off-plan deals made up 93.2% of all sales in Dubai South in September 2026. By size over the past 12 months: 97% of studio sales, 94.2% of 1-bedroom sales, 89.1% of 2-bedroom sales, 87.8% of 3-bedroom sales. That makes this mostly a new-launch market, so many quoted prices are for homes you'd get at handover, not today.

About these figures. Every number on this page comes from Dubai Land Department records: registered sales and Ejari rent contracts for Madinat Al Mataar. We use medians rather than averages, so a few very large or very small deals don't skew the picture. We leave out any figure based on fewer than 30 records. DLD usually registers a sale about a month after it happens, so the newest weeks are always a little light. Last updated 3 October 2026.
