Which Dubai areas fit my budget?
Name a budget to see the areas where homes like the one you want sold for a median at or under it, nearest your budget first, then the areas up to 20% over.
Ready studio apartments sold for a median of AED 2.5M or less in 35 areas over Oct 2025 – Sep 2026.
Off-plan sales mix developer launch prices and resales, so they get a median of their own, never mixed with ready sales.

Find areas and projects that fit your budgetHow this is measured
We take the median price of ready apartments sold in each Dubai area over the last four whole quarters, for the bedroom count you pick. Areas whose median is at or under your budget are listed nearest the budget first, then areas up to 20% over. An area needs at least 30 sales for a median. Data checks
What this does not tell you
- A median at or under your budget means half of an area's sales were at or under it. Many homes there sold for more.
- Areas are cheaper for reasons: age, distance and size within the bedroom count. The median says what sold, not what a particular home is worth.
- Some areas record sales of a share in a property, which can make prices look lower than whole properties sell for.
- Off-plan sales are left out. Choose off-plan to see them on their own.
