What comes next is mostly supply. The one building under construction adds about 142 homes, 11% of today's stock, with handovers in 2026; on the last 12 months' 242 sales that is about seven months of demand. New homes let before they resell, so a wave of handovers tends to show in the rent line first. The figures on this page refresh monthly, so the charts above will show it as it happens.
The line is the monthly median of every sale and rental contract, smoothed over three months; a month with fewer than ten records sits between its neighbours, and the latest such months are read together. The changes compare 12-month medians: the last 12 months against the 12 before. Source: Dubai Land Department.
