Monthly report
Every figure below comes from sale transactions registered with the Dubai Land Department and dated inside June 2018. Mortgages and gifts are excluded; the register's own record of a sale is the only source.
The Land Department registered 2,239 property sales in June 2018, worth AED 6.06B in total, across 78 communities. That is 9% fewer than the same month a year earlier.
The median sale was AED 1,150,000 at AED 993/sqft, 4.6% above the same month last year. 46% of sales were off-plan.
Business Bay was the busiest community with 206 registered sales, and also took the most money at AED 1.34B.
Against the previous month, Al Goze Fourth rose 58% to 123 sales, while Al Merkadh fell 83% to 55.
