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.

Common questions about World Islands

How much do properties cost in World Islands?

The median residential sale price in World Islands is AED 2,115/sqft, which works out at about AED 60.31M for a typical 28,787 sqft home. That is a median of 56 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.

Is World Islands mostly off-plan or completed homes?

100% of the 56 registered sales in World Islands were off-plan, and the rest were completed homes. The two trade at different prices, so a single blended price per square foot for the area would describe neither.

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.
