Four sales reached the register in the ten days after my last set of figures, and the shape of them is different from the six weeks before. Emaar took three of the four. A seven bedroom in Lavita went at AED 69,876,751, the largest single sale I have recorded here. And Mirage appeared in the register for the first time since I started publishing these.
The previous six weeks ran two to one the other way. Between 3 August and 22 September, 21 sales registered and 14 of them were owners reselling, with Emaar taking seven. In these ten days Emaar took three of four, and the three it took were the three highest rates in the set.
The four together came to AED 125,671,415. Three of them cleared AED 2,000 a square foot, against a median of 1,797 across the whole of the previous window. That is a small sample over a short period, and I would not call four sales a trend, but the direction is worth noting rather than ignoring.
No Mirage sale had registered in any set of figures I have published. Unit 113 changed hands on 2 October at AED 17,296,888, a five bedroom on a 14,739 square foot plot with 10,225 square feet built up, and it was an owner selling rather than Emaar.
At AED 1,692 a square foot it is the lowest rate of the four, and the only one below that 1,797 median. One sale does not set a level for a cluster. What it does give you is a first registered reference point for Mirage resales, where until now there was nothing at all to point at, and an asking price could not be checked against anything.
The Lavita mansion at AED 69,876,751 is 25% above the previous largest sale in these figures, which was also a Lavita, at AED 56,059,888 on 5 August. Seven bedrooms, a 40,821 square foot plot, 29,916 square feet built up, sold by Emaar at AED 2,336 a square foot.
Worth keeping the two apart in your head: the August one was an owner reselling, this one is Emaar selling new stock. They are not the same transaction and they do not tell you the same thing.
One from the previous set is worth returning to, because the timeline underneath it says more than the price did. The Marèva six bedroom at unit 76 registered on 21 August at AED 26,978,888. The same villa was bought from Emaar in February 2026, and the figure was AED 26,978,888 then too.
Six months held, contract signed on 5 August, and not a dirham of movement. After the 4% transfer fee and the agency commission, that is a loss. It is the clearest example I have of why an off-plan villa in a development still being released is not an automatic gain, and why the entry price matters more than the headline.
A Palmiera 3 four bedroom, unit 327, shows on the register for 25 August at AED 4,635,000, which works out at AED 818 a square foot. Every other rate in these figures sits between 1,514 and 2,385.
I am writing it up here rather than dropping it quietly, because leaving things out without saying so is how a price record stops being worth reading. But it is deliberately not in the sold prices table, because that table exists to be used as comparables and this figure would drag the averages somewhere no real villa sits. A rate at roughly half the lowest genuine figure in the set, on a plot the portal itself flags, is far more likely to be a transfer between related parties, a part share, or a correction waiting to happen than it is a villa anyone could have bought at that price. If someone shows it to you as evidence of what Palmiera 3 is worth, that is what it is.
Every line is a sale registered with the Dubai Land Department, not an asking price and not a portal average. The rate is the price divided by the built up area, which is the basis the register itself prints and the one the rest of this series uses.
This set covers 23 September to 2 October 2026 and picks up where the last post stopped, on 22 September. It is not every sale in Dubai, or even every sale at The Oasis for all time: it is what registered in that window, in the clusters I cover. If you want the whole series in one place, the sold prices table holds every sale I have published, filterable by cluster and by whether Emaar or an owner sold it.
If you are weighing a specific villa, the figure that matters is not the headline in a table, it is what the comparable plots in that cluster actually registered at and what condition the house is in. Send me the cluster and the unit and I will tell you where it sits.
