Data through 22 Oct 2026 · registered sales · trailing 12 months Oct 2025 – Sep 2026 · rebuilt daily
Dubai registered 181 510 property sales over the 12 months to September 2026, at a median price of AED 1.44M and a median 1 722 AED per square foot for built homes, down 7.1% on the previous 12 months.

What this site is
Every figure here is computed from Dubai Land Department open data — registered sales, mortgages, gifts and Ejari rental contracts — and nothing else. There are no listings, no asking prices and no articles. The methodology is public and versioned, the sources are named with row counts and import dates, and every block on every page carries the source it came from.
Built and maintained by Continental Club Property, a licensed Dubai brokerage. We say so plainly on /about: the numbers are public data and our own arithmetic, published because a market this size deserves a public scoreboard.
What these numbers do not show
- Asking prices. Everything here is a registered transaction; what a home was listed at is a different number.
- Off-market and cash-equivalent deals that never reach the registry, and the price actually negotiated before registration.
- Service charges, chiller fees, agency commission, DLD transfer fees or mortgage costs — none of them are inside these prices.
- Quality within a place. A tower with sea views and one behind it register in the same area under the same name.
- The current month. DLD keeps registering it for weeks, so it is excluded from every trend on this page.
