Dubai Maritime City's first registered sales, in 2015, were at about AED 1,860 per sqft. Prices then slid to a low of about AED 1,750 in 2022 and have since climbed to AED 2,462, 37% above the low. The steepest recent climb was in 2024, when the annual median rose 32%. Year on year the annual median has gone up 32% in 2024, up 4% in 2025 and down 5% so far in 2026. The busiest month of the last year was November 2025, with 57 sales registered. On the monthly median of every registered sale, prices are down 8.4% over the last 12 months and up 35% on the 2023 level. Rents are down 10.0% over the last 12 months and down 7.0% since 2025.
What comes next is mostly supply. The six buildings under construction add about 943 homes, 14% of today's stock, with handovers spread from 2026 to 2027; on the last 12 months' 316 sales that is about 3 years 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.
