Dubai Hills Estate off-plan prices, October 2026

Apartments: a median of AED 2,260 per sqft from 79 sales, counting off-plan sales, last 6 months; half of those sales fell between AED 2,036 and AED 2,383 per sqft; no like-for-like figure for September 2026 to compare with.

Villas and townhouses: a median of AED 2,198 per sqft from 99 sales, counting all sales, since 1 Jan 2026; half of those sales fell between AED 1,863 and AED 2,393 per sqft; no like-for-like figure for September 2026 to compare with.

These are prices paid, not prices asked: sales of homes that were not built yet, as recorded by the Dubai Land Department (DLD).

Apartments: a median rent of AED 130 per sqft a year on 2,139 new tenancy contracts, last 6 months, against AED 2,215 per sqft paid across 346 finished sales, last 6 months: a gross yield of 5.9%.

At the off-plan median of AED 2,260 per sqft the same rent would be 5.8%, before anything changes by handover.

Villas and townhouses: a median rent of AED 101 per sqft a year on 731 new tenancy contracts, last 6 months, against AED 2,066 per sqft paid across 50 finished sales, last 6 months: a gross yield of 4.9%.

Gross means a year's rent over the price, before service charges, fees and empty periods: our arithmetic on DLD's figures, not a promise of what a home will earn.

Asking prices for the 24 off-plan projects we list here run from AED 2,043 to AED 4,167 per sqft, some of them our own estimates from the starting price and the smallest home, marked as such.

Of the 16 with their own sales in the register, 9 sit more than 5% above the median, 5 within 5% of it, and 2 more than 5% below.

Highest above the median: Eden House Dubai Hills (+46%), Club Place (+24%) and Address Residences at Dubai Hills Estate (+16%).

Furthest below it: Greencrest (-6%) and Parkside Hills (-6%).

A gap is a project's median registered price per sqft (its own off-plan sales, or the developer's asking price where the register has too few) against the median paid for the same kind of home in the same area.

12 changes among the projects we list in Dubai Hills Estate in the last 31 days, newest first.

The figure chosen each month by the same rule, so the months compare: DLD's like-for-like sales over six months when there are at least 30, otherwise twelve, otherwise every sale over twelve.

Months before October 2026 were counted under earlier rules (since then: freehold sales only, and no one project allowed to dominate the figure), so they do not compare with the months after.

Registered sales come from Dubai Land Department open data and are read again each month; this page is as of October 2026. The median is the middle sale, which a handful of very large or very small homes cannot pull the way an average can.

The figure shown counts sales of homes that were not built yet over the last six months when there are at least 30 of them, otherwise the last twelve, otherwise every sale over twelve months; below 30 sales there is no figure at all. Apartments and villas are kept apart because they do not sell at the same price per sqft.

Rents are the register's own tenancy contracts, new ones only, because a renewal is capped by the rent index and lags the market; the median annual rent per sqft is divided by the median price of finished homes over the same months, since a home that is not built yet cannot be let. Rents are counted per municipal sector, which can be a little wider than the community.

We list a selected set of off-plan projects in Dubai Hills Estate, not every project there. Asking prices and handover dates are the developers' own and change without notice; a price per sqft we estimated is labelled as an estimate and is never compared with registered sales. Nothing on this page is investment advice.
