UAE property price-per-sqft by emirate & area

Average asking price per square foot and the typical entry price across UAE communities — grouped by emirate, with Dubai (the primary market) first. Price/sqft is the average asking price ÷ size across an area’s priced-and-sized listings, shown only where at least 5 listings carry a size; entry and median prices use all listings. Every figure is derived straight from Palmera’s live catalogue and refreshed on every build. ~96% of the catalogue is off-plan / new-launch, so these are new-project prices, not the secondary / resale market.

How these figures are calculated
Entry (from) price
Each project’s cheapest, smallest available unit — typically a studio or 1-bedroom. This is the starting cost to buy into a project, not the price of a finished or typical apartment, and not the secondary / resale market. ~96% of the catalogue is off-plan / new-launch.
Median entry price
The median of those project entry prices; it uses every listing for the area, regardless of size.
Price / sqft
The mean of (entry price ÷ size) across the live Palmera listings in each community at the build date above, with the sample size in brackets. Shown only where at least 5 listings carry a size, so thin samples read “—” instead of a misleading figure.
Emirate grouping
Each community is grouped under its emirate by the dominant region of its listings.
Publication-year filter
Narrows price/sqft to projects first listed on Palmera in that year (entry and median entry prices are not year-specific). Smaller yearly samples push more areas below the 5-listing bar to “—”.
Scope
All figures are based only on projects currently listed on Palmera — a sample of the market, not market-wide or DLD-wide data. Actual transacted prices vary by tower, floor, view and handover date — speak to our team for a unit-level valuation.
