Dubai Islands off-plan prices, November 2026

Apartments: a median of AED 2,795 per sqft from 1,153 sales, counting off-plan sales, last 6 months; half of those sales fell between AED 2,288 and AED 3,369 per sqft; down 4.8% since October 2026.

Villas and townhouses: a median of AED 1,775 per sqft from 52 sales, counting off-plan sales, last 6 months; half of those sales fell between AED 1,583 and AED 1,920 per sqft; no like-for-like figure for October 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).

Asking prices for the 112 off-plan projects we list here run from AED 1,703 to AED 4,593 per sqft, some of them our own estimates from the starting price and the smallest home, marked as such.

Of the 65 with their own sales in the register, 12 sit more than 5% above the median, 10 within 5% of it, and 43 more than 5% below.

Highest above the median: Cheval Residences (+51%), Villa Del Brunello (+48%) and Villa Del Garda (+44%).

Furthest below it: Tivanno Residence (-40%), Seaside By Prestige One (-38%) and Whitecliffs Residences (-35%).

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 Islands 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 November 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.

We list a selected set of off-plan projects in Dubai Islands, 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.
