Questions the desk answers
Asked about Motor City, answered from the register
What is the most active tower in Motor City?
Rabdan, with 195 registered resales in the twelve months to 9 October 2026.
How many homes change hands in a year in Motor City?
709 registered resales in the twelve months to 9 October 2026, across 51 towers.
Why is there no single Motor City price?
A studio in one tower and a four-bedroom in another do not average. The desk gives the figure by tower and the count by bedroom count instead.
What is the largest home sale registered in Motor City this year?
AED 14.80m, at Villas without a project tag. It was registered 18 March 2026.
How far back does the Motor City record go?
6,131 registered sales since April 2009, all of them in the record the desk publishes.
Are these asking prices?
No. Every figure is a completed transaction registered with the Dubai Land Department.
Method, this desk
Source and completeness
Dubai Land Department registered transactions, read nightly. A sample is not a record: where the read is incomplete the desk stays closed until it verifies.
Basis
Resales of completed homes. Off-plan registrations are counted on their own desk. The middle price is the median of registered prices in the window, and it is given per tower, never for the district as a whole.
Towers, bedrooms, thresholds
Towers are counted as the register names them. A tower with fewer than three sales in the window shows its count and no price; between three and seven it shows the range; at eight or more it shows the middle price.
Rents
Ejari registered contracts: the annual figure written on the contract, new and renewed, by bedroom count.
This edition
Built from the register read to 9 October 2026. The rents and the sales from a plan come from their own registers, and each of those tables states the date its register was read to.
Off-plan. A sale from a plan is recorded separately from the resale of a finished home, and this desk never mixes the two in one figure. It holds 8,986 of them in Motor City, the off-plan register read to 9 October 2026. See off-plan prices in Motor City.
The whole Motor City record, as a document you keep.
Everything on this page is free. The documents put the register's own rows in your hands, every tower, every sale, with the cover and the page count shown before the price. See what is inside first; the price comes last.

Any year, 2013 to 2025
Any single closed year from 2013 to 2025, one tower at a time, laid out the same way as the current year: count, median, range and rate per square foot on every one that traded, and the largest registered sales of that year. You are asked which year at checkout.
Look inside first
Built to the year you choose, so there is no one cover to show: any year 2013 to 2025, laid out exactly like the pages beside it.
