Dubai South prices in 2026: what the registry says
Every sale in Dubai is registered with the Dubai Land Department. In Dubai South that is 1,347 transactions so far this year, averaging AED 1,261 per square foot with a median ticket of AED 1,018,555. Use these as your anchor: an off-plan launch priced well above the registered average needs a reason (beachfront, branded, view), and one priced below it deserves a question about the developer.
