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

Off-plan in Nad Al Sheba register about 110% above ready, per square foot. Most places publish one blended figure, which is nobody’s actual market.

Ready

AED 1,662/sqft

Median AED 2.35M · 228 registered sales

Off-plan

AED 3,487/sqft

Median AED 1.42M · 2,186 registered sales

Blended, the way it is usually published: AED 3,432/sqft across all 2,414 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 Nad Al Sheba register about 32% below apartments, per square foot. Most places publish one blended figure, which is nobody’s actual market.

Apartments

Median AED 1.41M · 2,161 registered sales

Villas and townhouses

AED 2,386/sqft

Median AED 6.16M · 253 registered sales

Blended, the way it is usually published: AED 3,432/sqft across all 2,414 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.

Off-plan made up about 90.9% of registered sales in Nad Al Sheba over the last 12 months, with the remaining 9.099999999999994% 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.
