Price change for the same home

Most price charts move when the mix of what sold changes. One month sells more villas, the next month more studios, and the average jumps around even if no home became more expensive. This index fixes that. It holds the size, the floor, the number of bedrooms, the type, the off-plan or ready state and the exact building fixed, so only the year changes. Holding the building fixed matters more here than anywhere else: most of what sells in a recent year sits in a project that had no sales at all in the base year, so a chart that only holds the area fixed counts the gap between an old building and a brand new one as price growth. This one does not. It also covers homes only, apartments, villas and townhouses, because a land plot or a shop is not a home. Pick Land plot or Commercial in the type box if you want to see those. The first point is 100. If the line reaches 130, prices went up 30% since the start of your selected period. Each point is averaged with the 2 points before it so one strange month does not shake the line. If a period has too few sales, the line shows a gap. For thin slices, like villas only or a single area, switch to Quarterly: each point then pools 3 months of sales and one big launch cannot bend the line the way it can bend a single month. Use Combined for one line across your whole selection, or split it By type or By bedrooms to see a separate index line for each, rebased to 100 at a shared start so you can compare how each one grew. Click a name in the legend to hide or show that line.

This measure follows the SAME home selling twice, so it needs repeat sales. There are too few of those in this slice. Widen the area or the period in the bar above.

Top areas by price index

Every area gets its own hedonic index, built from all of its sales since 2019, year by year, with the same method as the big index above: size, bedrooms, type and off-plan state held constant. This list ranks areas by how much that index moved in the year you pick compared with the year before. An area needs at least 30 usable sales in both years to appear, so no number here stands on a handful of deals.

Top projects by price index

The same ranking, project by project: each project gets its own hedonic index from all of its sales, and the list ranks them by the change in the year you pick versus the year before. It is a price index: it shows how the price level of the same kind of home moved, not the profit owners made when they sold. A project needs at least 30 usable sales in both years to appear.

Median price

Middle sale price per period. Extreme prices per sqft are excluded.

No sales fall inside these filters. Try a wider area, another home type, or a longer period in the bar above.

Median price change

How much the median price moved, in percent. Vs last year: each bar compares a period with the same period one year earlier. Vs previous: each bar compares a period with the one right before it.

A change needs two periods to compare, and this slice does not have sales in both. Try a longer period in the bar above.

Median price per sqft

The fair comparison unit. Only sales with a registered size count here.

A price per sqft needs a recorded size, and too few sales in this slice have one. Try a wider area or a longer period in the bar above.

Sales volume: off-plan vs ready

How much of the market is homes still under construction.

Primary vs resale

Primary means bought from the developer. Resale means bought from a previous owner.

Top areas

Every area ranked, most active first. Top 5 highlighted, scroll for the rest. Volume ranks by number of sales, Value by total AED, Share by each area's slice of the whole market. The change figure compares the selected period with the one before it, in the same measure.

Sales by price tier

Where the money actually goes: under 1M to above 10M AED.

Price per sqft by bedrooms

Median AED per sqft by layout for the selected slice.

Most sold projects

Every named project in the selected slice, ranked by registered sales, with its median sale price. Scroll for the full list.

Numbers first, then the deal.
