# The World property market

The median registered sale price in The World is AED 2.20M over the trailing 12 months, from 33 registered sales at a median 2 404 AED per square foot, up 14.3% year on year. Figures are outlier-trimmed medians from registered DLD transactions, not asking prices from listings.

| Measure | Value | Year on year |
|---|---|---|
| Median sale price | AED 2.20M | +10.0% |
| Interquartile range | AED 1.86M – AED 2.67M | |
| Median price per sqft | 2 404 AED | +14.3% |
| Registered sales, 12 months | 33 | -76.3% |
| Off-plan share | 90.9% | |

## What these numbers do not show

- Building-level detail. The World is a community: a waterfront tower and a back street both register here.
- 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.
- A like-for-like resale price. 90.9% of sales here are off-plan, where the price is a payment plan on a home that does not exist yet.
- Rents, in this place. Too few Ejari contracts registered in the window to publish a median, so no yield is shown either.
