What a budget buys
Data through 22 Oct 2026 · registered sales · trailing 12 months Oct 2025 – Sep 2026 · rebuilt daily
Of 156 004 homes sold in Dubai over the trailing 12 months, this is where the money actually went: the size you get for each budget band and the communities that registered the most sales inside it. Bands are built from registered sale prices, so they describe transactions that completed, not what was advertised. Each band has its own page with the communities where that budget actually transacts.

What these numbers do not show
- What you can negotiate. These are prices that were registered, and registration follows the negotiation.
- Fees on top: DLD transfer, agency commission, mortgage arrangement and service charges are all outside these numbers.
- Eligibility or financing. Nothing here says what a bank will lend you.
