Price per square foot, month by month
Fewer than six months reached the five registered sales a median needs — too few to draw a line that would mean anything.

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.
