Dubai property numbers in plain words, from named sources: October 2026 sales of AED 34.1 bn (+17.9% on September), median apartment price AED 1,661 per sq ft, prices −1.8% in a year, rents cooling, and what it means for buyers.
Dubai property numbers that matter, from named sources, in plain words. This month in one line: sales picked up in October after a hard year, prices are flat to slightly down, and rents are cooling as new homes arrive.
Last checked 13 November 2026. Next update: December 2026, when November figures are out.
| Early 2026 | A strong start: Dubai had come off a record 2025, with about AED 917 bn of deals. |
|---|---|
| March 2026 | The US–Iran conflict hit buyer confidence. Deal values fell 31–42% against March 2025, and listed property shares fell about 20%. |
| April–June | After the ceasefire, deals that were postponed slowly came back. ValuStrat measured home prices 10% below late February by June, with monthly falls easing from 6% in March to 1% in June. |
| Handovers | Builders slowed down: about 20,000 homes were completed in Jan–Jun against a full-year target of over 129,000, and about half of the homes due in 2026 are now expected in 2027 or later. |
| October | The first rise in monthly sales after two quieter months. Buyers moved towards ready homes. |
Figures from different sources are built differently and can disagree: REIDIN shows rents down 7.2% in a year, while Cavendish Maxwell shows average rent per sq ft up 5.5%. I show both rather than pick one.
