Dubai South prices: what homes by the new airport actually registered
This page is for owners and buyers in Dubai South. It explains what the Dubai Land Department's register of completed sales says about prices here, in plain words, and every figure in it comes from that register.
See what homes like yours really sold for, home by home and district by district, from the Land Department's own record.
Dubai South is a young, fast-growing part of the city built around Al Maktoum International Airport, and its register reads like a place that is still filling up. The Land Department registered its first resale here in 2011, and there are 3,549 registered resales in total.
In the twelve months to 22 October 2026, the Dubai Land Department registered 933 resales across Dubai South, spread over 45 towers and villa communities that changed hands in that year. The busiest was Mag 5 Boulevard with 95 registered resales at a middle price of AED 650,000; then Rr Residence (87 resales, middle price AED 776,196) and Celestia (74 resales, middle price AED 550,000).

From AED 99
The same report is on sale for every other district on this site. The eight busiest are Jumeirah Village Circle, Business Bay, Dubai Marina, Mohammed Bin Rashid City, International City Phase 1, Dubai Sports City, Downtown Dubai and Arjan, and twenty-one more are on the reports desk. Each one is this year for AED 199 or one earlier year for AED 99, and every year since the register opened for AED 499 where that record is on the shelf. 16 towers and communities in those districts have a file of their own, AED 49 for the last twelve months or AED 149 for every sale since the first.

What it is
A PDF of the Land Department's own register for one place. No asking prices, no listings, no opinion of ours.
What you get
Every registered sale in it, row by row and newest first: the date, the price, the size, the rate per square foot, and the rent record beside it.
How it is yours
Bought once, tax inclusive, no subscription. Emailed by a person, usually within the hour. Keep it, print it, show it to anyone.
Why it will not embarrass you
Every figure traces to a registered transfer, and each page count on this page is the real length of the file we fetched and counted. If it is wrong you get the corrected file: delivery, replacement and cancellation.
Why you would buy it again
The register moves every day. A document is rebuilt at the next reading after its register moves and says the date it was read to, so a later copy carries every sale registered since.

One place, two names in the register
The Land Department writes this district under two names, Dubai South Residential District and Dubai World Central, and to anyone living here they are the same place. The Desk publishes both together and says so, because both are the register's own words. Expo City sits in the same stretch of the map and is a separate name in the register, so its sales are counted separately and never added to a Dubai South price.
Why the tower or villa community matters more than the district
The prices above are all in Dubai South and they are far apart. Apartment blocks, townhouses and detached villas were finished in different years to different specifications, and one district-wide figure would sit between them and describe none of them. The Desk prints the figure tower by tower and community by community and project by project, with the count of registered sales beside it so you can see how much each one rests on.
How to read a young register
The Desk prints a middle price where a tower or villa community registered at least eight resales in the year, a range where it registered three to seven, and only a count below that. That bar matters more here than in a settled district: somewhere handed over recently may have registered a handful of resales, and a handful is a fact about a few homes rather than a price for the tower or villa community.
The free desk page carries every tower or villa community with its twelve-month count, middle price, range and rate per square foot. The paid record carries the year-by-year history and every registered sale, one row at a time.
Questions people ask
How many properties sold in Dubai South in the last year?
The Dubai Land Department registered 933 resales across Dubai South in the twelve months to 22 October 2026.
What is the median price in Dubai South?
It depends where: Mag 5 Boulevard registered a middle price of AED 650,000 and Celestia one of AED 550,000 in the twelve months to 22 October 2026. The Desk does not print one district-wide figure, because it would hide that spread.
Is Expo City part of Dubai South on this desk?
No. The Land Department records Expo City under its own name, so its registrations are counted separately and are never part of a Dubai South figure.
