About these figures. Every number on this page comes from Dubai Land Department records: registered sales and Ejari rent contracts for Marsa Dubai. 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.
