Dubai True Pricing

Downtown Dubai: asking prices vs. registered sale prices

Asking prices in Downtown Dubai run +12.0% against what buyers paid in the same buildings over the last three months. 402 of the 2,040 resale listings valued ask 30% or more above their own building; 392 ask at or below the registered level.

Registry name: Burj Khalifa. Data as of 17 September 2026. Listings collected 20 September 2026.

Every figure below comes from live resale listings on the public portals compared with sales registered at the Dubai Land Department. Off plan is excluded on both sides: it sells at a different price to a different buyer. A further 3 listings are left out: the only registry entries they could be matched to are nominal or partial-share transfers, not market sales, so their difference would mean nothing.

By bedrooms

Asking AED/sqft: median of the live resale listings. Paid AED/sqft: median of the sales registered in this area over the last three months with the same number of bedrooms. Middle half: first to third quartile of the premium.

How long it takes to sell

2,180 live resale listings against 385 sales registered in the last three months: 17 months of stock at the current rate. Below eight months the seller sets the price; above eighteen the buyer does. Half the listings have been up for 26 days or more, and 9% for more than 90 days. Listings published in the last month ask +12.3% over their building; those published more than three months ago ask +16.0%. What does not sell is what asks too much.

Building by building

120 buildings with at least one valued resale listing. Buildings with three or more have their own page, with the registry sales behind the number.

Click any column heading to sort. Paid AED/sqft: median of the sales registered in that same building, matched by name against the registry. Difference: where most listings could be matched to sales of similar units in the building, it is the median of those unit by unit comparisons; otherwise it is the asking median against the building's own registered median. It is not the ratio of the two columns shown, which are medians of two different sets of units. Reliability: from recent sales in the same building (high) down to area comparables (low).
