About Property Index

Dubai Real Estate Index

Property Index is Dubai's definitive property data platform - the only property index in Dubai built entirely from official DLD transactions and Ejari rental contracts. We provide real estate professionals, investors, and developers with verified price-per-square-foot data, rental yields, and market trends across every registered project in Dubai. No listings, no asking prices, no broker estimates - just government-sourced property market intelligence updated daily.

The Property Index (PIX©) is a chained, mix-adjusted price index for Dubai residential property, computed monthly from sales registered with the Dubai Land Department. As of June 2026 it stands at 210.6, 111% above its January 2012 base of 100, on 9,700 registered sales in the month. That is down -0.1% year on year and down -2.5% on the month.

How the index is calculated

  1. 1Source

    Every point comes from sales registered with the Dubai Land Department — the transfer record. No listing prices, no asking prices, no valuations.

  2. 2Mix adjustment

    Prices are measured inside fixed cells of area, property type and bedroom count. A market-wide median moves when the mix of what sold changes; holding the cells and their weights fixed means a month heavy in studios cannot read as a price fall.

  3. 3Cell price

    Each cell takes its median price per sqft over a three-month rolling window, requiring at least 5 transactions in that window, so a thin cell borrows adjacent months instead of dropping out.

  4. 4Carry-forward

    A cell that does not trade keeps its last price for up to 12 months, then leaves the index until it trades again. Without the cap, a dead cell would anchor the series to a price nobody is paying.

  5. 5Chaining and weights

    The index moves by the month-over-month ratio of weighted prices across cells priced in both months. Cells are weighted by all-time registered transactions, excluding those with fewer than 30. Chaining lets a new community enter the index the month it becomes liquid, without rebasing.

  6. 6Base and publication

    January 2012 = 100, and only complete months are published. The 2009–2011 register is excluded: it is dominated by the Oqood backlog, where off-plan sold at 2007–08 prices but registered years later, so registration-dated prices rise through the actual crash.

Common questions about Dubai property prices

Are Dubai property prices going up or down?

Dubai residential prices have fallen -0.1% over the last 12 months. PIX© reads 210.6 in June 2026, against a January 2012 base of 100.

How much have Dubai property prices risen in five years?

Dubai residential prices are +76.9% over five years on PIX©, and +110.6% since the January 2012 base. Both are mix-adjusted, so they measure price rather than a change in what sold.

What is the average price per sqft in Dubai?

The median registered price was AED 1,683 per sqft in June 2026, across 9,700 registered sales. The index level tracks the mix-adjusted change; this median is the raw price in the month.

What is the Dubai real estate index?

PIX© is a mix-adjusted price index built from Dubai Land Department registered sales rather than asking prices. It holds the mix of what sold constant, so a month with more studios does not read as a price fall.

Where does the index data come from?

Every point is computed from sales registered with the Dubai Land Department — the transfer record, not listings or valuations. The series starts in January 2012 and only complete months are published.

What Professionals Say

★★★★★

I used to spend 30 minutes researching a project before a client meeting. Now I search it on PropertyIndex and have every number I need in seconds. The transaction history alone is worth the subscription.

The PIX© Price estimates changed how I price units. Instead of guessing, I can show a seller exactly where their unit sits against recent actuals. They take me seriously because I have the data.

★★★★★

As an investor, yield is everything. PropertyIndex is the only platform that calculates yield from actual Ejari contracts. Every other source uses asking rents, which are often 10–15% higher than reality.

Common Questions

Everything you'd want to know

All sales data comes directly from Dubai Land Department (DLD) — the government authority that registers every property transaction in Dubai. All rental data comes from Ejari, the official rental contract registration system. We don't scrape listing sites, we don't estimate from asking prices, and we don't use broker opinions.

We update daily. When a transaction is registered with DLD or a rental contract is filed with Ejari, it typically appears on PropertyIndex within 24-48 hours. This is significantly faster than quarterly market reports or listing site price adjustments.

Pro gives you full access to every project across 4,000+ developments — complete transaction history, PIX© Price estimates, floor-level position premiums, rental trend charts, off-plan vs ready breakdowns, and detailed PSF ranges. Everything a professional needs for valuations, client presentations, and investment decisions. AED 500/month, cancel anytime.

The PIX© Price is our proprietary valuation model. Select a specific tower and bedroom count, and it calculates Standard, Average, and Premium price estimates based on actual recent transactions. It's the fastest way to answer "what should this unit be worth?" with data behind it.

Yes. Pro is month-to-month with no commitment. Cancel from your account settings and you won't be charged again. Plus, if you sign up for Pro and don't find it valuable within 7 days, we'll refund you in full — no questions asked.

All three. Agents use it for valuations and client presentations. Investors use it to compare yields across projects. Developers use it to benchmark their pricing against the market. Anyone who makes decisions about Dubai property based on price data needs official transaction records.

Bayut and Property Finder are listing portals — they show you what sellers and landlords are asking for. PropertyIndex shows you what buyers and tenants actually paid, sourced from government records. Listings reflect hope. Transactions reflect reality. They're different tools for different purposes.

Official data. No listings. No opinions.
