Questions about Dubai guide comparisons

These answers explain the coverage, dates and limits of the Dubai guide comparisons shown here.

What is covered by the Dubai guide comparisons?

The linked pages cover 106 areas and 4,705 buildings. Each table gives its sample size and dates.

What are the data dates for the Dubai guide comparisons?

Sales are registered to 5 Oct 2026. Rents and project-register records are dated to 22 Oct 2026. Publisher contract sample, register data to 22 Oct 2026; the lease period is not stated. Each table gives its own dates. Check them before you compare figures.

Are these Dubai figures asking prices?

No. These are prices of homes sold through Dubai Land Department. The median is the middle price in that sample. It is not a price quote for your home. Rent samples have their own labels. Project facts come from a separate register.
