DIFC: common questions

What is the average price per square foot in DIFC?+

Over the last 12 months the median registered sale price in DIFC was 3,750 AED per square foot, across 89 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.

Is DIFC mostly off-plan or ready property?+

Off-plan made up about 100% of registered sales in DIFC over the last 12 months, with the remaining 0% 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 DIFC a good place to invest?+

We do not give investment advice and we will not guess. Here is what the register shows for DIFC. 89 registered sales in the last 12 months, out of 186 on file, at a median of 3,750 AED per square foot. 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.
