Why no price-change figure?

This area's recorded sales are too few or too uneven to measure a price direction honestly — any figure we printed would be month-to-month noise rather than a trend.

Nearly all recorded sales in World Islands are off-plan, so the median above describes under-construction stock rather than the area as a whole.

What each size costs in World Islands

Median size and price for every bedroom count with at least 15 recorded sales. Dubai Land Department records a room count on nearly every sale, so this is a breakdown of real transactions rather than an estimate. The headline price is the last 12 months; the median across every sale on record sits under it.

Common questions about World Islands

How much do properties cost in World Islands?

The median residential sale price in World Islands was AED 1,477/sqft in September 2024, from 11 sales registered that month. These are medians of sales actually registered with the Dubai Land Department, not of asking prices.

Is World Islands freehold?

Yes. Every unit in World Islands whose tenure is recorded in the Land Department's register is freehold, so foreign nationals may own property here outright. The register holds 646 units for the area.

Median price per sqft trend

Every registered residential sale in this area by month, ready homes and off-plan together, so this is the history of what sold rather than a rate. The newest month is still being registered and will move. The rates on this page read ready homes alone.

Areas at a similar price

Closest to World Islands on median price per square foot. Areas with fewer than 10 recorded sales are left out, because a median drawn from a handful of deals is not worth comparing against.
