Business Bay · Market data · 2026
Business Bay property prices, from what buyers actually paid.
Canal-side towers minutes from Downtown, the city's largest resale market for apartments. Every figure on this page is a registered Dubai Land Department transaction, not an asking price. Updated 17 September 2026.
Source: Dubai Land Department registered transactions via DXB Interact, as of 17 September 2026. Medians, not averages, so one penthouse does not move the number.
What the numbers mean if you own here
Prices in Business Bay are +39% higher than last year on a median of 4,520 sales. Fewer units are changing hands (-54% in volume), which means buyers have more choice and price your unit against the last registered sale, not against the listing next door.
Over the last three months apartments traded at AED 2,140 per sqft, -15% against the previous quarter. My recommendation to an owner: list within 3% of the current registered rate and expect an offer within the first month. Holding out for last year's asking prices is what creates 90-day listings.
- Sellers: a listing priced on registered transactions sells faster and rarely needs a reduction.
- Landlords: a 7.0% gross yield is the area median; a unit renting below it is under-priced.
- Buyers: ask for the last five registered sales in the building before you offer. We send them on request.
