No opinions dressed as facts. Every answer here is either the published rule or a figure from the Dubai Land Department's registered transactions, and it says which.
For agents
The rules, the record, and how to argue price from evidence.
Trakheesi permits, explained properly
Every Dubai property advert needs a permit before it goes live, on every channel. What that means in practice, and what it costs to get wrong.
How to read the registered record like a valuer
Median versus average, price per square foot, off-plan share, and the sample size question that decides whether a number means anything.
What the Dubai Land Department actually publishes, and what it does not
The record covers prices, sizes, dates and areas. It does not contain who bought or sold. Knowing the boundary keeps you out of trouble.
For investors
How to check what you are being told, before you commit.
How to tell whether a Dubai asking price is fair
You do not have to take anyone's word for it. Every sale in Dubai is registered, and the comparison takes about a minute.

Two different markets, two different risks. What the registered data can tell you about each, and what it cannot.
