Dubai True Pricing

Dubai home prices are 3.5% below their April peak

Rents are 9.2% 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: 22 October 2026. 8,520 sales and 26,134 new tenancies in the last 30 days.
