Monthly report
Every figure below comes from sale transactions registered with the Dubai Land Department and dated inside August 2019. Mortgages and gifts are excluded; the register's own record of a sale is the only source.
The Land Department registered 2,181 property sales in August 2019, worth AED 4.10B in total, across 81 communities. That is 39% more than the same month a year earlier.
The median sale was AED 1,285,728 at AED 862/sqft, 7.8% below the same month last year. 49% of sales were off-plan.
Marsa Dubai was the busiest community with 307 registered sales, and also took the most money at AED 617.41M.
Against the previous month, Al Hebiah Fourth rose 2% to 61 sales, while Al Khairan First fell 70% to 80.
