Methodology. Figures cover completed DLD transactions dated July 2026 unless a longer window is stated. Rows whose implied price per square metre falls outside 0.25×–4× of the month's median are treated as share transfers or data artefacts and excluded from headline figures, tiers, charts and lists. Property-type medians are computed on all recorded transactions of that type. Highest and lowest recorded sale cover apartments and villas only, never plots or whole buildings. Rental figures are residential Ejari registrations only — commercial leases and land are excluded. An initial-vs-resale split is not published because DLD's registers do not state it reliably. Data current as of 12 August 2026, sourced from Dubai Land Department records.
