In Dubai the first decision is not the district but the product: of the 424 properties we list across Dubai and Sharjah, the great majority are serviced residences and apartments rather than villas, and the entry point is AED 350,000. The median asking price is AED 1,305,000 for a median 74 m², about AED 17,138 per square metre.
Prices are in dirhams throughout, because that is the currency the market trades in. Conversions move with the exchange rate rather than with the market, so we leave them out — ask for the rate on the day you make an offer.
All figures on this page are measured from our own active listings, last on 19 October 2026. They are asking prices rather than completed sale prices, and medians of the stock we currently hold rather than a market index. We re-measure them against the live inventory and correct the page when it moves.
| Type | Properties | From | Median | Median size | Per m² |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Serviced residences | 206 | AED 350,000 | AED 933,000 | 55 m² | AED 15,933 |
| Apartments | 167 | AED 420,000 | AED 1,616,000 | 81 m² | AED 22,716 |
| Villas | 13 | AED 2,365,000 | AED 7,354,000 | 345 m² | AED 12,938 |
The largest category is the serviced residence — 206 properties, nearly half the stock — and it is also the cheapest way in at AED 350,000. These are hotel-managed units: smaller (median 55 m²), with a lower metre rate than conventional apartments and a different ownership and service structure. Guides that describe Dubai as a market of apartments and villas are describing a third of what is actually for sale.
Note the villa line: 13 properties, and at AED 12,938 per square metre they are cheaper per metre than apartments (AED 22,716) because they are large and further out — the same pattern as in Turkey and Northern Cyprus. The total price is of course far higher.
| Budget | Properties | Median in band |
|---|---|---|
| Under AED 600,000 | 22 | AED 528,000 |
| Under AED 1,000,000 | 154 | AED 750,000 |
| Under AED 1,500,000 | 243 | AED 864,368 |
| Under AED 2,000,000 | 302 | AED 1,000,000 |
| Under AED 3,000,000 | 359 | AED 1,119,000 |
So more than half the stock sits under AED 1.5 million and five sixths under AED 3 million. The impression of Dubai as a uniformly expensive market comes from the top of the range — the 13 villas with a median of AED 7.35m — rather than from the body of it.
Studios: 68 units from AED 420,000 with a median of AED 907,550. One-bedroom: 386 units, the deepest segment, from AED 350,000 with a median of AED 1,117,951. Two-bedroom: 294 units from AED 735,000, median AED 1,800,000. Three-bedroom: 127 units, median AED 3,000,000. Four-bedroom: 42 units, median AED 5,632,914.
The studio is a real entry product here, unlike the Turkish coast, where Alanya and its districts contain no studio units at all.
Dubailand measures AED 7,906 per square metre, Dubai South AED 14,000, Al Furjan AED 14,329 and Jumeirah Village Circle AED 15,719 — while Business Bay is AED 31,064, Palm Jumeirah AED 43,960 and Dubai Marina AED 44,358. That is a factor of 5.6 inside one city, so the price of an apartment tells you very little on its own: AED 1.3 million buys 80 m² in Jumeirah Village Circle and under 30 m² at Marina rates. Choose the district first.
A seaside market. Sea view applies to 30 of 424 properties, not one is within walking distance of the water and only one sits in the first row. A pool in the building, by contrast, comes with 346 properties and a private pool with 82. If the sea is the reason for the purchase, the honest comparison is Northern Cyprus, where three quarters of the stock has a view, or the Turkish coast, where 78 properties are within walking distance of the water and 33 sit in the first row.
These are three different products, not three price levels of one market, and the stock answers the question better than any argument does.
If the sea is the point, it is not Dubai. Sea view applies to 30 of our 424 Dubai properties and exactly one stands in the first row along the water. On the Turkish coast 213 properties have a view and 33 are in the first row; in Northern Cyprus three quarters of the stock has a view. Dubai is bought for the city, not for the beach.
If a year-round city and letting are the point, Dubai competes with Istanbul. Both are tower markets with no beachfront stock, and both are quoted in a currency that is not the euro — Dubai in dirhams, Istanbul in dollars. In both the district decides more than the building: here the metre rate runs from Dubailand to Dubai Marina, a factor of more than five inside one city.
If the lowest entry price is the point, it is the Turkish coast. Apartments in Turkey start at €48,000 and a communal pool comes as standard; our Dubai entry is AED 350,000 and at that level you are usually looking at a compact serviced unit in an outer district. We do not convert between the two, because each market contracts in its own currency and a converted figure moves with the exchange rate rather than with the market.
If you want a private pool, 82 of our Dubai properties have one against 103 across all of Turkey, where they are almost all villas. That is the one feature where the two markets are closer than people expect.
We do not publish rental yields or appreciation forecasts. Earlier versions of this page carried yield and appreciation forecasts; we removed them because neither can be measured from our data, and we will not restate the figures here even to disown them. Price, size, metre rate and how many comparable units are for sale is what we can state.
The unit error: prices and service charges in Dubai are quoted per square foot. One square metre is 10.76 sq ft, so AED 1,300 per sq ft is about AED 14,000 per m². Any Dubai metre price below five figures is almost certainly a square-foot number — and service charges, which are agreed per sq ft annually, are the second-largest running cost after the mortgage.
Tell us your ceiling in dirhams, the number of bedrooms, and whether the purchase is for letting or for living. We will send what fits with the price per square metre and the service charge for each — and if a serviced residence suits the brief better than an apartment, we will say so and explain how the ownership differs. The neighbouring emirate, which is roughly half the price per metre, is on property in Sharjah.
We list 424 properties in Dubai and Sharjah: entry AED 350,000, median asking price AED 1,305,000, median size 74 m² and AED 17,138 per square metre. More than half the stock sits under AED 1.5 million.
Serviced residences — 206 of the 424, nearly half, with a median of AED 933,000 at 55 m² and AED 15,933 per square metre. They are hotel-managed units with a different ownership and service structure. Conventional apartments number 167 and villas 13.
154 properties, with a median of AED 750,000 in that band. Under AED 600,000 there are 22. The impression of Dubai as uniformly expensive comes from the top of the range — the 13 villas with a median of AED 7.35m — rather than from the body of the market.
AED 12,938 against AED 22,716, because villas are large and further out. The total price is far higher — a median of AED 7,354,000 at 345 m² — but the metre rate is lower. It is the same pattern as in Turkey and Northern Cyprus.
More than the type. Dubailand is AED 7,906 per square metre and Dubai Marina AED 44,358 — a factor of 5.6 in one city. AED 1.3 million buys 80 m² in Jumeirah Village Circle and under 30 m² at Marina rates, so the district is the first decision.
Sea view applies to 30 of 424 properties and not one sits in the first row along the water. A pool in the building comes with 346 and a private pool with 82. If the sea is the point, Northern Cyprus or the Turkish coast are the honest comparisons.
We do not publish yields or appreciation forecasts, and we removed the ones earlier versions of this page carried, because neither can be measured from our data. If a yield matters to your decision, ask for the rent actually being achieved in a named building; that has a checkable answer.
Because Dubai quotes prices and service charges per square foot. One square metre is 10.76 sq ft, so AED 1,300 per sq ft is about AED 14,000 per m². Any Dubai metre price below five figures is almost certainly a square-foot number.
