Ready or off-plan? They are not the same price

Off-plan in Al Satwa register about 33% above ready, per square foot. Most places publish one blended figure, which is nobody’s actual market.

Ready

AED 1,734/sqft

Median AED 1.64M · 117 registered sales

Off-plan

AED 2,300/sqft

Median AED 1.44M · 1,285 registered sales

Blended, the way it is usually published: AED 2,272/sqft across all 1,402 registered sales. Useful for a trend, misleading for a purchase.

We measured this across every community busy enough to test: off-plan versus ready in Dubai, and which actually costs more.

A gap does not mean one is overpriced. Off-plan stock skews towards newer developments and a payment plan has its own value. These are two markets, priced differently.

Apartment or villa? They are not the same price

Villas and townhouses in Al Satwa register about 30% below apartments, per square foot. Most places publish one blended figure, which is nobody’s actual market.

Apartments

AED 2,274/sqft

Median AED 1.45M · 1,385 registered sales

Villas and townhouses

AED 1,600/sqft

Median AED 6M · 17 registered sales

Blended, the way it is usually published: AED 2,272/sqft across all 1,402 registered sales. Useful for a trend, misleading for a purchase.

Price per square foot is not the whole story between the two: a villa buys land and a flat buys a share of a building, so the same rate buys very different things.

Al Satwa: common questions

What is the average price per square foot in Al Satwa?+

Over the last 12 months the median registered sale price in Al Satwa was 2,270 AED per square foot, across 1,364 registered sales. That is the median of completed transactions registered with the Dubai Land Department, not asking prices, so it reflects what buyers actually paid.

What is the rental yield in Al Satwa?+

Al Satwa shows a gross rental yield of about 4.7%, calculated from 12,161 registered Ejari rent contracts set against registered sale prices for the same area. That figure is gross, so service charges, management fees and any vacancy still come out of it, commonly one to two percentage points.

How much is rent in Al Satwa?+

Is Al Satwa mostly off-plan or ready property?+

Off-plan made up about 91.9% of registered sales in Al Satwa over the last 12 months, with the remaining 8.099999999999994% being ready property. A high off-plan share usually means active new launches and staged payment plans. It also means more supply arriving later, which is worth weighing if you are buying to rent out.

Is Al Satwa a good place to invest?+

We do not give investment advice and we will not guess. Here is what the register shows for Al Satwa. 1,364 registered sales in the last 12 months, out of 3,258 on file, at a median of 2,270 AED per square foot. The gross yield is roughly 4.7%. Transaction volume matters as much as price, because it tells you how easily you could sell again. Compare those figures against other communities, and check the service charge for the specific building, since it comes straight off your yield.
