Dubai True Pricing

Dubai home prices are 2.4% below their April peak

Rents are 8.9% below their February 2026 peak. Both figures come from every transaction the Dubai Land Department registers, measured every day for a constant basket of homes, so a month with more villa sales does not read as a price rise. No asking prices.

Updated nightly. Latest registered sale: 5 November 2026. 8,901 sales and 24,089 new tenancies in the last 30 days.
