Emaar South off-plan prices, November 2026

Apartments: a median of AED 1,725 per sqft from 7,318 sales, counting off-plan sales, last 6 months; half of those sales fell between AED 1,614 and AED 1,899 per sqft; unchanged since October 2026.

Villas and townhouses: a median of AED 1,365 per sqft from 349 sales, counting off-plan sales, last 6 months; half of those sales fell between AED 1,193 and AED 1,522 per sqft; up 1.3% since October 2026.

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 65 per sqft a year on 176 new tenancy contracts in the community's own buildings, last 6 months, against AED 1,174 per sqft paid across 47 finished sales in the same buildings, since 1 Jan 2026: a gross yield of 5.5%.

At the off-plan median of AED 1,725 per sqft the same rent would be 3.8%, before anything changes by handover.

Villas and townhouses: a median rent of AED 64 per sqft a year on 315 new tenancy contracts in the community's own buildings, last 6 months, against AED 1,371 per sqft paid across 38 finished sales in the same buildings, last 6 months: a gross yield of 4.7%.

At the off-plan median of AED 1,365 per sqft the same rent would be 4.7%, before anything changes by handover.

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 22 off-plan projects we list here run from AED 1,037 to AED 2,052 per sqft, some of them our own estimates from the starting price and the smallest home, marked as such.

Of the 9 with their own sales in the register, 2 sit more than 5% above the median, 3 within 5% of it, and 4 more than 5% below.

Highest above the median: Greenridge (+19%) and Golf Verge (+8%).

Furthest below it: Golf Point (-24%), Golf Hills (-7%) and Vista Ridge (-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.

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.

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 Emaar South, 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.
